CBI Arrests Proclaimed Offender Masad Seikh in Murder Case
In 2022, a local leader named Bhadu Seikh was killed in a village called Bogtui in West Bengal.
The police wrote a report about the crime, but one of the people they wanted, Masad Seikh, ran away.
When someone runs away and does not come to court, they are called a 'proclaimed offender.'
Special detectives from a group called the CBI were in charge of finding the truth.
They used smart detective work and technology to figure out where the hiding man was.
The CBI found him in a big city called Mumbai and arrested him.
Nine people were already accused in this case by the CBI.
After the arrest, Masad Seikh was taken to Kolkata to appear in front of a judge.
Now, like the others, he will have to face the court.
The CBI arrested proclaimed offender Masad Seikh in the 2022 murder case of Trinamool Congress gram panchayat leader Bhadu Seikh.
The arrest took place in the Wadi Bunder area of Dongri, South Mumbai, on August 15, 2026.
Masad Seikh had been at large since the FIR was registered in 2022 and never joined the investigation or trial.
The CBI took over the case on April 8, 2022, following a Calcutta High Court order, from Rampurhat police station in West Bengal.
The CBI filed chargesheets and supplementary chargesheets in 2022 and 2023 against nine accused persons, including Masad Seikh, and the arrested accused was brought to Kolkata for production before the competent court.
