WEST BENGAL Police on Sunday arrested one of the prime accused in the murder of a man and his son in violence-hit Murshidabad district. This marks the fourth arrest in connection with the killings at Jafrabad village in Shamsherganj, amid communal unrests earlier this month during protests over amendments to the Waqf Act.
The arrested person, identified as Ziaul Sheikh, resident of neighbouring Sulitala Purbapara, had been absconding since April 12. A joint operation by the WB Police Special Task Force and Special Investigating Team tracked him down to Chopra in Uttar Dinajpur district on Saturday.
