  • India

In a recent incident stirring political tensions, Golam Nabi Azad, the son of Janata Unnayan Party (JUP) chief Humayun Kabir, was detained for allegedly assaulting a policeman in Murshidabad, West Bengal. The policeman, Constable Jumma Khan, had accused Azad of attacking him while he was applying for leave.

According to Trinamool Congress (TMC), Azad committed a cognisable offence, prompting police to take legal action. Meanwhile, Humayun Kabir, away when the incident occurred, claimed the police targeted his son under false charges, influenced by TMC.

Kabir contested TMC's involvement in the matter, asserting it is politically motivated. In response, he vowed to protest the police actions and seek an explanation from senior authorities, demanding his son's immediate release amid continuing political unrest.
