Melagarh: A wave of shock and sensation has gripped Melagarh after local content creator and cricketer Prosenjit Saha was taken into police custody following the alleged recovery of 1 kg 950 grams of dry cannabis from his vehicle. The incident has sparked widespread controversy, with Prosenjit himself alleging that he has been deliberately framed to silence his voice against corruption.
Prosenjit Saha, who is widely known in the Melagarh area for his active presence on social media platforms, has reportedly been using his content to expose various instances of corruption and irregularities over a period of time. Speaking directly before the cameras of multiple media outlets after his arrest, he categorically denied any involvement with drugs and claimed that the recovery was a planted attempt to discredit and frame him.
He alleged that his growing influence as a content creator and his consistent efforts to bring corruption-related issues into public attention had made him a target for vested interests, and that his arrest is a direct consequence of his work as a citizen journalist and social media activist.
Currently lodged in police custody at Melagarh Police Station, his arrest has drawn strong reactions from locals, supporters, and fellow content creators, many of whom are demanding a fair, impartial, and transparent investigation into the circumstances of the alleged drug recovery.
The incident has raised serious questions about the freedom of expression and the safety of individuals who use digital platforms to hold authorities accountable.
