Kolkata Police Intensifies Monitoring of Terror Suspects
Imagine some bad guys are locked up in jail.
The police in Kolkata are now being extra careful about who visits them, checking everyone's ID.
This is because of a recent attack and worries about other bad guys planning something.
They're especially watching people who might have helped these bad guys before, and people coming into the area.
