Overview

• A Kolkata Police team arrested Mohammad Firoz, also known as Mini Firoz, near Ajmeri Gate on Sunday night and placed him on transit remand to bring him to Kolkata.
• Investigators said he had been on the run for 10 days, uploading videos while avoiding mobile-phone use, which complicated efforts to track him.
• Officials stated he is booked under BNS sections 109/3(5)/324(2)/351(3), sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, and section 9 of the West Bengal Maintenance of Public Order Act.
• Police reported seizing multiple weapons and said four others—Mohammad Amber alias Mohammad Nafis, Md. Sajid, Ahmed Hossain alias Md. Madhu, and Raja Khan—are already in custody.
• CCTV footage from September 11 shows an extended spree of gunfire, crude bombs, vandalism, and assaults in Gulshan Colony, which residents attribute to a syndicate rivalry targeting supporters of councillor Sushanta Ghosh.
