“We are trying to retrieve data from the burnt phone. As of now, we have gathered enough evidence from her interrogation and the other phone to establish the fact that she was in touch with the members of the outfit,” the official said.
Khatun was on Sunday produced before a judicial magistrate’s court, which remanded her in judicial custody.
Earlier, two persons, including an Imam running a Madrasa, were held in Morigaon for their alleged nexus with terrorists.
The madrasa was subsequently demolished.
