Former TMC MLA Saokat Molla, who was declared absconding by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with the Bhangar blast case, was arrested on Friday.

The central probe agency conducted searches at the residence of Molla, the ex-MLA from Canning Purba, party office and several locations on Thursday.

One person was killed, and three others sustained critical injuries in a crude bomb explosion at Dakshin Bamunia village in South 24 Parganas district on March 19, while bombs were allegedly being made there.

Mollah, who represented the Canning Purba Assembly constituency and won elections in 2016 and 2021, recently had his security cover withdrawn by the state government.
