KOLKATA: An alleged RSS worker was arrested in Murshidabad for posing as a Muslim cleric and spying on people in a local mosque.

The locals handed him over to police. According to police, probe is underway.

"It is my humble request to Muslims, Hindus, Christians and people following different faiths not to fall into the trap of political parties trying to instigate communal violence during the ongoing election in the state," said Sujauddin Ahmad, member of the Jamat-e-Islami Hind, West Bengal (an Islamic Organisation).

He reiterated that Bengal is always known for maintaining peace and communal harmony. Irrespective of caste and creed, people celebrate Eid, Bakrid, Durgapuja, Christmas and other festivals together in Bengal.
