Aide of Humayun Kabir arrested in Murshidabad hate speech probe

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.

They arrested three people who helped organize the meeting where Kabir spoke.

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.
