Arrest Made in Fatal Accident Involving Witness in Sheikh Shahjahan Case
KOLKATA, December 13, 2025 – Police in Kolkata have arrested one individual in connection with the deadly road accident that claimed the life of the son and driver of Bholanath Ghosh, a key witness in cases against suspended All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Sheikh Shahjahan. The arrest occurred in the early hours of Saturday in Sarberia, South 24 Parganas district.
The accident, which occurred on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, on the Basanti Highway near Boyramari petrol pump, involved a 16-wheel truck colliding with Ghosh’s car. Ghosh himself was injured, while his son, Satyajit (32), and driver, Sahanur Molla (27), were killed. Police reports indicate the truck dragged the vehicle and deposited it into a nearby waterbody after the initial impact.
“Evidence showed his involvement in the road accident. We have arrested him and will question him. He will be produced in the court this afternoon,” a police officer said.
The cases against Sheikh Shahjahan, who was arrested in February 2024 after a 55-day manhunt, involve allegations of sexual abuse and land grabbing. He was initially arrested in connection with an assault on Enforcement Directorate (ED) officers during a raid related to a ration scam case. The investigation into the accident and its potential links to the cases against Shahjahan is ongoing.
