Humayun Kabir Appears Before Police Again Over Alleged Provocative Remarks in West BengalPreviousNext

Aam Janata Unnayan Party MLA Humayun Kabir appeared before police in Murshidabad, West Bengal, for the second time regarding cases filed over his alleged provocative remarks at public meetings. The investigations follow complaints lodged at Rejinagar and Shaktipur police stations after Kabir's speech on June 26, which reportedly included inflammatory comments targeting the BJP. Kabir had previously been questioned and issued notices, with police continuing their probe amid warnings from Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari against statements disturbing communal harmony.
