Six Police Injured in Sandeshkhali as Mob Attacks During Arrest of TMC Worker

Police say the visit related to complaints that a local worker seized water bodies for pisciculture.

Overview

  • A team from Nazat police station went to Boyarmari to take TMC worker Musa Mollah into custody over land and water-body takeover allegations tied to pisciculture.
  • Villagers pelted stones, injuring six personnel and vandalising a vehicle before reinforcements secured Mollah's transfer to the station; the injured were treated at Minakha Hospital and discharged.
  • Police conducted follow-up raids, arrested nine people for questioning, and continue to review CCTV footage as searches proceed, according to a senior officer.
  • The pradhan and upa-pradhan of Boyarmari Gram Panchayat 2 were detained on allegations of instigating the attack, police sources said.
  • Political reactions followed, with the TMC condemning the violence and the BJP alleging a broader law-and-order pattern reminiscent of the January 2024 assault on an ED team in Sandeshkhali.
