The four member team will remain in Bangladesh on Nov 17 and 18, said a spokesperson for the Indian High Commission in a press note on Sunday evening.
"It will be holding meetings with relevant authorities of Bangladesh as part of ongoing bilateral security cooperation between India and Bangladesh," it said.
Earlier, state minister for home Azaduzzaman Khan told reporters at the Secretariat that the NIA team will work together with an intelligence team from Bangladesh.
The NIA, after it began its investigation into the Oct 2 blast, said members of Bangladesh’s banned militant outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) were involved.
Two suspected militants died in the explosion in a residential building turned into a factory for making Improvised Explosive Devices (IED).
