Police nabs BJP's Rakesh Singh during midnight raid in Tangra

BJP leader Rakesh Singh, the prime accused in the violent attack on the West Bengal Pradesh Congress headquarters, has finally been arrested after evading police for several days. Singh was picked up from Tangra at midnight on Tuesday. He will be produced in court on Wednesday.

Singh and his supporters allegedly stormed the West Bengal Congress office in Entally, a neighbourhood in central Kolkata, in protest against remarks made on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother during Rahul Gandhi's rally in Bihar. The group vandalised property and created chaos, following which Singh had been absconding.

Days earlier, Singh’s son, Suvam Singh, was arrested for allegedly helping his father flee and providing logistical support. Following that arrest, Singh had directly threatened Kolkata Police Commissioner Manoj Verma in a video message, officials said.

A few BJP leaders led by Rakesh Singh allegedly carried out a protest and vandalism at Bidhan Bhawan, the headquarters of West Bengal Pradesh congress committee in Kolkata after the incident insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Patna last week.
