KOLKATA: Suspended Trinamool Congress worker from Ward 121 in Behala – Somnath Banerjee alias Baban — was nabbed from rural Howrah’s Joypur (near Nischintapur) on Sunday morning by a joint team from the Anti Rowdy Section of detective department and Behala Police.
Somnath had managed to flee the city five days ago on the night of April 12 after allegedly leading his supporters to fire at and assault locals and vandalize a Behala neighbourhood over who gets to control the local Charak Mela at Behala’s Charaktala. At least five persons were injured in the incident — a brother-sister duo (both associated with Trinamool) was stated to be serious.
