Congress leader Md Mukhtar arrested over Muharram violence in Metiabruz

The Nadial Police have arrested senior Congress leader Md Mukhtar in connection with an outbreak of violence that occurred during Muharram in the Metiabruz area of Kolkata. Following a clash between two separate groups, law enforcement officials registered a suo motu case to address the sudden disruption of public order. The arrest was executed as part of an ongoing investigation to identify all major individuals involved in inciting the local unrest.

The incident had caused a state of palpable tension throughout the Metiabruz locality, forcing the administration to monitor the area closely.

Authorities have confirmed that the investigation is actively progressing and further legal actions will depend entirely on the evidence collected from the ground and the viral video clips.
