Overview
- West Bengal Police arrested TMC worker Musa Mollah on January 6 from the Nazat area after a tip-off.
- With Mollah in custody, the tally of arrests in the case stands at 13 following earlier rounds of detentions.
- Six policemen were injured and a police vehicle was vandalised on January 2 when a team visited Boyermari over complaints tied to pisciculture-related encroachment.
- Authorities say the Basirhat sub-divisional court imposed prohibitory orders on the disputed property, and investigators will seek Mollah’s custody for questioning.
- Those earlier held include relatives identified as Murtaza Mollah and his sons, Montazul and Monowar, as the case again spotlights Sandeshkhali’s history of attacks on enforcement teams.
