A week after violence in Sandeshkhali, North 24 Parganas left three ED officers injured from a mob attack, Bengal police make their first arrest.
Early Friday morning, Nazat police arrested two suspects – Mehebur Mollah and Sukamal Sardar – for their alleged involvement in the attacks on the central agency officials, CRPF jawans and media personnel on January 5 when the agency raided the house of Trinamul Congress leader Shahjahan Sheikh for conducting a search operation in connection with the ration distribution scam.
The two suspects were reportedly hiding in a local fishery compound in the Sarberia-Agarhati Gram Panchayat area, the same region where Sheikh’s residence is located.
The two suspects, police said, were identified by scanning the video footage that was available from the day of the violence.
The prime suspect in the case – Shahjahan Sheikh – however continues to abscond.
