Kolkata– A concerning incident unfolded on Friday when the Kolkata Police apprehended a young man, identified as Sheikh Noor Amin, who was found in possession of weapons near Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s residence in Kalighat.

The incident occurred when the young man, driving a car bearing a police sticker, attempted to approach Mamata Banerjee’s house. However, vigilant police officers stationed nearby grew suspicious and swiftly detained him for questioning.

During the inspection, the police discovered a Border Security Force (BSF) identity card and a cache of sharp weapons and firearms in the man’s possession. This raised further alarm, leading to intensified questioning of the arrested individual.

Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal has asserted that the arrested youth is currently under interrogation. The authorities are diligently attempting to ascertain the motives behind his attempt to reach the Chief Minister’s residence with the weaponry.

Meanwhile, the wife of the detained youth, Poonam Bibi, has come forward with a claim that her husband suffers from bipolar disorder and is currently undergoing treatment. This revelation adds another layer of complexity to the situation, prompting investigators to delve deeper into the individual’s background and possible reasons for his actions.

At the time of the arrest, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was present at her residence, preparing to depart for a martyr’s rally organized by the Trinamool Congress at Dharmatalla. The timely intervention by the police prevented any potential threat to her safety.

In addition to the sharp weapons and firearms, the police also seized a bag from the young man’s possession. Further details regarding the contents of the bag have not been disclosed.

According to police reports, the youth allegedly claimed that he had come to meet the Chief Minister before his arrest. However, his intentions remain under scrutiny, especially considering the presence of dangerous weapons during the incident.

Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal emphasized that the investigation is multi-faceted, and all aspects of the incident are being thoroughly probed. The authorities are determined to uncover the truth behind the attempted approach to Mamata Banerjee’s residence with the weapons and the individual’s potential motive.
