Najiur Rahman Pavel, Mikhail Khan, Rabiul Islam, and Md Abdul Mannan Bachu, all Bangladeshi nationals, have been named in the charge sheet along with Lalu Sen, a resident of West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, reports our New Delhi correspondent quoting the official.
The Bangladeshis have been booked under the Indian Penal Code, stringent anti-terror law Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Foreigners Act and Passport Act, the NIA official said.
The case relates to a criminal conspiracy by the Bangladeshi nationals who had illegally entered India along with their associates of JMB/AQIS, to recruit and motivate Muslim youth to establish a "caliphate" and for furthering terrorist activities in India and Bangladesh, the official said.

They had received funds from Bangladesh through hawala routes, and also fraudulently obtained Indian identity documents, to evade detection, the official said, adding that further probe into the case is underway.
