According to the affidavit filed with his nomination papers, Molla owns immovable assets worth ₹1.54 crore, while his spouse holds immovable property valued at ₹1.18 crore. Molla was previously elected to the West Bengal Assembly in 2021 from the Purba Canning constituency in South 24 Parganas district on a TMC ticket.
