A man was apprehended near the residence of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, carrying a firearm and a dagger, leading to a tense situation. Identifying himself as SK Noor Amin, the man claimed to be an intelligence officer and was found in possession of identity cards from different security agencies, including the Border Security Force (BSF). The incident, reported by Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Kumar Goyal, raised serious concerns and prompted a thorough investigation into the man’s motives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The arrest occurred on a Friday, shortly before the Chief Minister was scheduled to depart for the Martyr’s Day rally in central Kolkata. The man, donned in a black blazer and tie, arrived at Banerjee’s Kalighat residence in a sports utility vehicle with a conspicuous Police sticker. Upon noticing the sticker, the police questioned his identity, which he attempted to validate by presenting an intelligence officer’s identity card. However, suspicions remained, leading to his detainment and subsequent arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a thorough search, the police discovered the man in possession of a firearm, a bhojali (dagger), and ganja, further escalating the gravity of the situation. The authorities have intensified their efforts to investigate the matter, ascertaining whether he had any intentions to harm the Chief Minister or other individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the ongoing investigation, authorities have delved into the man’s background and found that he is a resident of Anandapur in east Kolkata. His wife, Poonam Bibi, revealed to reporters that he works with a human rights organization. Despite her attempts to contact him, he had been unresponsive to her calls. Local residents also shared information, mentioning his involvement in an interior decoration business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident has raised concerns about security measures around high-profile individuals and sparked discussions on potential threats faced by public figures. The police are meticulously verifying all relevant information and conducting a detailed probe into the man’s motives, affiliations, and activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
