Kaizar Ahmed, a prominent Trinamool Congress leader from Bhangar in West Bengal, has filed a police complaint against his party’s legislator, Saokat Molla, alleging an assassination attempt. Ahmed claimed that Molla had hired a contract killer to target him and requested the police to take legal action based on his allegations.
In his complaint, Ahmed urged the police to register a First Information Report (FIR) under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, and sought protection for himself and his family due to perceived threats. An investigation has been launched into the matter by police officials, with no official response from Saokat Molla or his associates as of now.
The internal feud between two factions of the Trinamool Congress in the region, led by Molla and Ahmed, has been ongoing. The conflict escalated when Molla was appointed as the party’s observer for the Bhangar Assembly constituency, a move contested by Ahmed. Despite prior intervention by the party’s state leadership, tensions have reignited ahead of the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections.
Supporters of Ahmed allege that Molla’s interference in organizational affairs in Bhangar has reignited tensions within the party unit. This recent development has brought the factional rivalry to the forefront once again, with Ahmed taking legal action against Molla.
