  "account": "On Sunday, the car of former Indian Secular Front (ISF) leader and ex-Trinamool Congress MLA Arabul Islam was attacked with crude bombs and bricks in Bhangar, South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. The incident occurred in the Uriapara area of the Polerhat police station, where Islam was returning home from the hospital. He accused ISF MLA Nawshad Siddiqui and his party for the attack. However, the ISF did not comment on the matter. According to Islam, two bombs were thrown at his vehicle, but they did not detonate. They exploded on the road, causing the car's glass to shatter. The attacker fled the scene in a car, leaving Islam unharmed. Islam alleged that ISF workers took advantage of the night to carry out the attack. He also claimed that he has been targeted since leaving the party. The police have launched an investigation based on Islam's complaint and are examining CCTV footage from the area to identify the attackers. No arrests have been made yet.",
