Just in: MEA Spokesperson Vikas Swarup says "Just to clarify, reports of an NSG team visiting Bangladesh are false."
Earlier reports said that a four-member bomb-expert team of the National Security Guard would be leaving for Bangladesh today to "analyse and study" the explosions at an
Eid prayer gathering and the recent terror siege at a high-end
restaurant in Bangladesh.
The team, which includes NSG experts in post-blast analysis and counter-terror operations, will study the July 1 incident where terrorists laid siege at a bakery in Dhaka and killed 22 besides today's bombings in Kishoreganj district in Bangladesh, official sources said.

Indian
agencies wanted to study the scenario, nature of explosion and psyche
of terrorists in coordination with their Bangladeshi counterparts, as
getting an insight into it will not only enhance counter-terror
cooperation between the two neighbours but also add value to the
operations knowledge of the elite commando Force.
NSG
is the counter-terror and counter-hijack commando action force
of the country that was raised in 1984. The team, it is understood, will
be in Dhaka over the weekend to gather leads on the two terror
incidents.
