During arrest, Bani Israel was found in possession of a country-made pistol loaded with two rounds of 7.62 mm live ammunition. As both accused attempted to flee, the police team fired four warning shots in the air to prevent their escape.Four empty 9 mm cartridges were recovered from the scene, and a case was registered under relevant sections of the BNS and Arms Act.Jharsuguda SP, Smit P Parmar said, six other individuals from Murshidabad, suspected to be involved in the larger violence incident, were also detained during the raids.”The detainees have been identified as Babul Sk, Abdul Khalek, Saba Karim, Roni Sk, Manarul Sk, and Azfarul Sk, all residents of various localities under Samserganj PS in West Bengal. They were taken into custody for further questioning and verification,” he added.Earlier on April 14, two other accused in the double murder — Kalu Madab and Dildar Madab — had been arrested from different hideouts in Murshidabad and Birbhum districts.The police are probing the broader conspiracy behind the violence and presence of multiple individuals from Murshidabad in Jharsuguda.Officials confirmed that coordination between states and swift intelligence sharing played a crucial role in tracking the accused beyond state borders.The raids were carried out under the supervision of Inspector of Banharpali police station Ranjit Naik and SI Sarat Chandra Dwibedy of Bandhabahal police station.Notably, three persons were killed, several people were injured, and scores of shops and houses were vandalised as violence rocked parts of Murshidabad district during protests over the Waqf (Amendment) Act.
