Janata Unnayan Party (JUP) chief suspended Trinamool Congress leader Humayun Kabir’s son, Golam Nabi Azad, was detained on Sunday for allegedly assaulting a policeman posted at their residence in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district.
The policeman, Constable Jumma Khan, was posted as a personal security officer (PSO) of Bharatpur MLA Kabir.
A senior police officer told PTI, “Golam Nabi Azad, also known as Sohel, was detained on the basis of a complaint lodged with Shaktipur police station by Constable Jumma Khan, alleging that the MLA’s son assaulted him this morning when he applied for a few days’ leave.”
“On the basis of the complaint, the accused has been detained for questioning. The matter is being investigated, and necessary legal action will be taken,” the police officer told PTI.

Humayun Kabir was in the limelight recently after he laid the foundation stone for a Babri Masjid-style mosque in Muslim-majority Murshidabad. He formed his own party, Janata Unnayan Party (JUP), after being suspended from the TMC.
Commenting on the police’s action against his son, Kabir claimed that police had cordoned off his residence in the Shaktipur area.
“My son objected to the entry of a policeman inside my house today, and this angered the law enforcers who levelled false allegations against my son, accusing him of misbehaviour,” he told reporters in Berhampore.
Kabir alleged that he was being targeted by the police at the behest of the Trinamool Congress.
“I will gherao the SP’s office in Murshidabad on January 1 in protest against this harassment, which is politically motivated. I demand an explanation from senior police and administration officials about today’s incident. They cannot intimidate me,” Kabir said.
Kabir said his son was detained “in an illegal manner under false charges”, and demanded his immediate release.
