Aide of Humayun Kabir arrested in Murshidabad hate speech probe
Humayun Kabir, a leader of the Am Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP), gave a speech in Murshidabad that some people found offensive.
The speech was about politics and warned other political leaders not to be too confident.
Some people, especially from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), thought the speech was trying to cause trouble between different groups of people.
Because of this, the police started investigating.

Now, they have also arrested Selim Sheikh, who is a close friend of Kabir.
The police are still looking into what happened and might take more action if they find more evidence.
Selim Sheikh, an aide of Humayun Kabir, was arrested in connection with a hate speech probe.
The arrest follows an investigation into Kabir's alleged inflammatory speech at a public meeting in Murshidabad.
