Arrested Trinamool Strongman Walks With Bowed Head Over 2020 JP Nadda Convoy Attack Case

Imran Hasan Molla, the former block youth Trinamool Congress president for Magrahat West, was arrested on November 5 in connection with the attack on the convoy of then BJP national president JP Nadda at Shirakol in Usthi in 2020.Last evening, the Usthi police took him to Shirakol and Rajarhat areas to reconstruct the incident.At that time, Molla, who had been arrested, was seen pleading for forgiveness from people, sometimes with his hands clasped and at other times walking with his head bowed. The residents were left genuinely astonished to see, in such a state, a man who was once a leader who effectively held the entire area in his grip.Molla is in police custody for nine days.

He is considered close to Diamond Harbour MP Abhishek Banerjee and his personal assistant Sumit Roy. He was also close to Shamim Ahmed, the Trinamool Congress MLA for Magrahat (West) assembly constituency.On December 10, 2020, a group of protesters attacked the convoy of Nadda in South 24 Parganas' Shirakol.
