Former MLA Arabul Islam said his car was attacked with crude bombs and bricks in Bhangar, West Bengal, after he left the Indian Secular Front. He said the incident took place at night near a cemetery in Uriapara.
Islam said he had left home in the evening and was travelling at speed when the attack happened. He told media persons on Sunday morning that the assault was intense and that he and the driver could have been hurt if the car had slowed down. He did not report any injuries in the account. Islam attributed the attack to his decision to leave the ISF.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Indian Secular Front is a West Bengal-based political party associated with Abbas Siddiqui and has its strongest electoral presence in parts of South 24 Parganas. Bhangar has previously seen clashes linked to local political competition, making party affiliations an important factor in assessing the allegation. Any criminal case would depend on evidence such as the vehicle’s damage, witness accounts and forensic examination of the explosive material. The next signal to watch is whether police register a case and identify suspects.
