After the promise of the SP of the Basirhat Police District earlier today, the police arrested absconding TMC leader Shiba Prasad Hazra alias Shibu Hazra from the Nyajat area. Shibu Hazra is the close aide of Sheikh Shahjahan.

As per the sources, the Police have filed a case against the accused, Shibu Hazra, with sections of gang rape, rape and threat of murder. 

The arrest came after the complaint of a woman. The woman also gave a secret statement today in court.

Another accused TMC leader, Uttam Sarder, is also in police custody. Uttam Sarder was arrested earlier. 

However, the main accused, Sheikh Shahjahan, is still absconding. Till now, the police couldn’t find Sheikh Shahjahan, who was charged with attacks on the ED officials. Also, numerous numbers of allegations against Sheikh Shahjahan were made by the women of Sandeshkhali.
