West Bengal: During police raid, a luxurious basement was found under the house of TMC leader Shamim Ahmed!

Kolkata, 12 May. A luxurious underground basement has been found during a police raid at the house of famous and controversial Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Shamim Ahmed in Shivpur area of ​​central Howrah in West Bengal.

According to the police, this basement has been built in a very luxurious manner, about which very few people were aware. Many underground rooms, expensive furniture, beds, TV and many branded items were found in it. Not only this, CCTV cameras were also installed to monitor the basement. The officials were surprised to see the luxurious underground cellar hidden inside the house.

Shamim is absconding to avoid arrest after election violence

Actually, Ahmed, accused in the election violence and bombing case in Shibpur Chaurabasti area of ​​Howrah, is a well-known local leader of Trinamool Congress (TMC) in central Howrah. He is absconding to avoid arrest due to the incidents of violence after the elections. Acting on information received about Ahmed’s whereabouts, officials of Shivpur Police Station conducted the raid at his house located in Ward 36.

To the officers who went to conduct the raid, the exterior of the house appeared to be normal like other houses in the neighbourhood. But the inside view was like a ‘palace’. Behind a hidden door, investigators found a secret tunnel that led to a luxurious suite. The decoration of this secret room was very spectacular. It had precious hand-carved furniture, designer dressing tables and expensive fixtures.

Those who saw the branded goods inside the basement described it as like a film set. This basement has raised many serious questions. After all, where did a local TMC worker get so much money to live such a luxurious lifestyle?

Officers surprised to see luxury goods present in the basement

In the video that has surfaced, it is clearly visible that there are many rooms inside the basement. Luxury items are available in every room. The presence of fridge and other luxury items has also surprised the investigating officers. The police is now investigating how and with what money the underground setup with such huge luxury facilities was built. After the basement came to light, political turmoil in the area has also intensified.

Criminal history of Shamim, close to former minister Arup Roy

Shamim Ahmed is considered very close to Arup Roy, who was a minister in the previous TMC government led by Mamata Banerjee. In the Bengal election violence that took place on May 8, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had alleged that miscreants associated with Trinamool had carried out bombings and firing to target their minority workers. The accused is currently absconding in the case of attack on BJP worker. It is alleged that there was heavy stone pelting, bombing and firing in this attack, in which Shamim played an important role.

Shamim was arrested in the attack on Ram Navami procession several years ago.

By the way, this is not the first time that Shamim Ahmed has had trouble with the investigating agencies. Several years ago, he was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for his alleged involvement in the violent attack on the Ram Navami procession in Howrah. Despite his controversial past, it is said that he had considerable influence under the patronage of the TMC government.
