Another KMC councillor, Biswajit Mondal arrested, after woman alleges molestation and threats
Kolkata Police's Narcotics Cell of Detective Department launched a swift raid on a four-storey house at South Kolkata's Bikramgarh area under Golfgreen Police Station. Within minutes, officers zeroed in on the east-side bedroom on the ground floor and caught 40-year-old Saheb Ali Molla red-handed with around 50–55 grams of heroin neatly packed in plastic pouches and small paper folds ready for sale. Neighbours watched in stunned silence as the suspect, son of Jahanjir Ali Molla and a familiar face in the area, was led away in handcuffs while the team bagged the contraband as evidence.
The operation was strategic and smooth: acting on solid tip-offs, the Narcotics Cell team reached the spot before sunrise, sealed all exits, and found Saheb Ali alone in the room where the drugs were openly kept. Sources say the seized heroin is worth several lakhs on the local market, and the packets suggest he was supplying small-time peddlers across Golf Green and Jadavpur. For residents of this area under Golfgreen police station, the arrest has come as both a shock and a relief.
Many had noticed strange visitors at odd hours but never imagined a full-blown heroin trade was running just metres from their homes. With legal formalities underway, officers say the investigation will now trace where the drugs came from and who else was part of the chain. One small bedroom raid has cracked open a hidden drug corner in the heart of the city, sending a clear message that Kolkata police are keeping a sharp eye on every lanes.
