The President of Muslim Jatiya Parishad (MJP) was apprehended by Hatigaon Police in Guwahati on Friday for allegedly using a vehicle that was involved in an earlier crime.

The MJP President, Matiur Rahman and his associate Ashraful Rahman were apprehended today by the Hatigaon Police for using a Toyota Innova vehicle with registration numbers HR 19 F 0036, which was earlier involved in a criminal case.

Matiur Rahman reportedly introduced himself to the police as being associated with a news portal named ‘24News’.

Notably, Hojai Police were looking for the vehicle for a long time. The Innova also did not have any of the requisite documents.
