The main accused, High Court advocate Mofakkarul Islam, arrested

  • Case of seven judicial officers held hostage in Malda (Bengal)

  • Islam had incited the public to hold the officers hostage.

Kolkata (Bengal) – On 1 April, in Muslim-majority Malda, seven judicial officers were held hostage during the intensive revision process of the voter list. In this case, the police have arrested the alleged mastermind, Mofakkarul Islam, an advocate of the Kolkata High Court. (The true face of educated Muslims! – Editor) He was caught at Bagdogra Airport while trying to flee. Islam is a former candidate of AIMIM (All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen).

1.  Speaking to journalists, Additional Director General of Police K. Jayaraman said that Mofakkarul Islam, originally from Itahar in Uttar Dinajpur district, was currently residing in Kolkata.

2. Three cases have been registered against Islam at Kaliachak Police Station for delivering provocative speeches and inciting the mob to hold the officers hostage.

3. Jayaraman said the police began tracking Islam, and with the help of the Bengal CID and Siliguri Police, he and his associate were arrested from Bagdogra Airport.

4. He added that three separate cases have been registered against him for inciting locals at three different places. A total of 19 cases has been registered in connection with the Kaliachak incident.

5. The number of people arrested in this case has reached 35.

Action also taken against ‘Indian Secular Front’ candidate who incited the mob

In this case, Indian Secular Front candidate Shahjahan Ali Qadri has also been arrested for inciting the mob. The Indian Secular Front has termed his arrest completely illegal and claimed that the state government has conspired to prevent him from filing his nomination.

Editorial Perspective

  • Although the advocate’s surname indicates his religion, it is surprising that no maulvi (Islamic religious leader) or maulana (Islamic scholar) has issued any fatwa (decree) against him for bringing disrepute to Islam.
  • With this arrest, people should realise who is often at the forefront of inciting mobs and getting them to carry out anti-social acts in the country.
