Sohrab is a Congress politician, five-time MLA and Congress legislature party leader in the West Bengal state assembly.
Md. Sohrab, son of Yar Mohammad, is a post-graduate and is a retired head-teacher.
He was elected to the West Bengal state assembly from Suti (Vidhan Sabha constituency) in 1969, 1971, 1977 and 1996, as a Congress candidate.
When he was not given a party ticket to contest in 2001, he filed his nomination in the same constituency as a rebel candidate and lost. At that Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who has a reputation for sponsoring rebels, commented, “Do you expect my former mastermoshai Md Sohrab (rebel candidate from Suti) and five-time MLA Habibur Rahman (rebel candidate from Jangipur) to listen to me?”
In 2011, he won from Jangipur (Vidhan Sabha constituency) and was Congress legislature party leader.
