A day after a frenzied mob held 8 judicial officers hostage inside the BDO office in the Muslim-dominated Malda district of West Bengal, the police have arrested a key accused named Akramul Bagani in connection with the case on Friday (3rd April).
Akramul runs a YouTube channel by the name of ‘Insaf News’ where he peddles pro-TMC propaganda, Islamist ideology and anti-Hindu hatred.
According to reports, he posted incendiary videos on YouTube and instigated people in Malda. Akramul is an aide of AIMIM rabble-rouser Mofakerrul Islam, who incited the public against the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
One of the key masterminds of Malda unrest is Akramul Bagani.
