He is being interrogated.
Meanwhile, another source of Kolkata Police claimed that Sambia Sohrab reached Lalbazar and surrendered himself to the police around 9:30 pm.
An Audi Q-7 car, which was registered in the name of a company- Mussadi Business Pvt Ltd- owned by former RJD MLA and presently TMC leader Md. Sohrab's elder son Ambia Sohrab, allegedly broke police barricades at Red Road and hit Airman Abhimanyu Gaud on Wednesday early morning. The airman, a 21-year-old Air Force drill instructor was killed.
Meanwhile, denying Trinamool Congress (TMC)'s involvement into the incident, TMC Rajya Sabha MP and party's National spokesperson Derek O'Brien on Saturday said, "Md. Sohrab was Left Front government's MLA in 2006 and he is not a TMC leader. He is a minor political activist. The devil, who was reportedly driving the car, has no connection with the TMC."
