The suspected terror module busted in Patna on July 13 is not related to the controversial remarks of the suspended Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Nupur Sharma, informed Patna Police.

Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Manavjit Singh also told the media that no connection with Pakistan or Pak-based organisation has been established so far.

Addressing a press conference, Manavjit Singh said, "There is no involvement of any mainstream religious institution. They worked individually, away from the public eye. This is not related to the Nupur Sharma matter. No connection with Pakistan or Pak-based organization has been established so far. The NIA team has not reached yet but they will get involved."

"Any organisation may have frontal and underground organizations. They were meeting under the cover of SDPI (Social Democratic Party of India) and PFI (Popular Front of India) but may be running their own agenda. Their activities were only limited to Bihar. We cannot call them sleeper cells as they are members of PFI and SDPI which are still not banned," he added.
