Mohammed Sohrab Sambia, the prime accused in the IAF hit-and-run case, was arrested late on Saturday night, even as he was preparing to slip out of the city, the police said.
Sambia, the son of TMC leader Mohammed Sohrab, had mowed down an IAF official on January 13. He had been charged under Section 302(murder) and Section 120B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC. Trinamool Congress on Saturday said the driver of the car which mowed down an Air Force corporal here should be booked as per law and made it clear that the party has no connection with him or his father.
“The culprits must certainly be booked as per law of the land. We have nothing to do with them and have never had anything to do with them,” TMC national spokesperson Derek O’Brien said in a statement.
