Political Intrigue: JUP Chief's Son Detained Amid Allegations

Golam Nabi Azad, son of Janata Unnayan Party chief Humayun Kabir, was detained in Murshidabad for allegedly attacking a police officer. Accusations fly about political motives, with Kabir blaming the Trinamool Congress. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between Kabir's newly formed party and the ruling TMC.

Golam Nabi Azad, the son of Janata Unnayan Party leader Humayun Kabir, was detained for allegedly assaulting a police officer stationed at their home in West Bengal's Murshidabad district, officials reported.

Trinamool Congress maintains that Azad, also known as Sohel, physically attacked the officer, who served as the personal security officer for Kabir, the Bharatpur MLA. Despite Trinamool Congress denying involvement, the police acted according to the law.

Kabir, who was away during the incident, argues his son is a victim of politically motivated actions by authorities, influenced by the ruling party. He vows to challenge his son's detention legally, citing similar adversities faced during the CPIM regime, and plans a protest on January 1.
