New Delhi: The Border Security Force (BSF) was on Wednesday handed over two suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba militants, including the self-styled south India chief T. Nazeer, near the Meghalaya border by the Bangladesh Rifles, an official said.

"The BSF authorities have arrested the south India chief of LeT T. Nazeer near Meghalaya border. One more person has been arrested (identity of) whom I don't know," Home Secretary G.K. Pillai said here.

He said that the two suspected militants were "picked up from across the border".

"Questioning and investigations are on," Pillai said.

Nazeer is alleged to be involved in the 2005 terror attack on the Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Science in which a retired Indian Institute of Technology professor M.C. Puri was killed.
