TMC panchayat leader arrested over murder of Bengal Congress leader, son: Police
Anisur Rahman, the general secretary of the Nadia district Congress unit, and his son Abu Sufian, a law student, were shot dead inside their car
West Bengal's Nadia district police have arrested Fatima Bibi, a Trinamool Congress panchayat leader, as a suspect in the murder of a local Congress leader, Anisur Rahman, and his son, Abu Sufian. The victims were shot dead inside their car while traveling from Bethuadahari to their home in Nakashipara. Fatima Bibi, head of the Haranagar village panchayat, was arrested along with two of her associates, based on a complaint filed by the victims' relatives.
Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari alleged that Fatima Bibi's husband, Jabbar Sheikh, who is currently in jail on criminal charges, ordered the hit. The Congress party held protests in Kolkata, Nadia, and other districts, with state Congress president Subhankar Sarkar accusing the police of lacking a proactive intelligence network.
