CBI

Shahjahan, a suspended leader of the Trinamool Congress party, stands accused as the alleged mastermind behind the violent incident that occurred on January 5 in Sandeshkhali.

After the Calcutta High Court's directive for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the West Bengal police to transfer Shahjahan to CBI custody by 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday, a CBI team arrived at the CID headquarters, Bhabani Bhavan in Kolkata, where Shahjahan had been detained since his arrest on February 29.

Following the High Court's order, three CBI officials, accompanied by Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel, arrived at the CID headquarters located at Bhabani Bhavan around 4:40 p.m. on Tuesday for the official handover of Shahjahan along with all relevant case documents. However, despite over two hours of discussions, the CBI officials departed from Bhabani Bhavan at 7:05 p.m. without Sheikh Shahjahan.

Previously, on February 12, Sisodia had been granted a three-day interim bail to attend his niece's wedding ceremony.

Expressing concern over the five-year gap since his last summons by the CBI, Akhilesh Yadav has raised questions regarding the timing and necessity of the current summons.

The complaint alleges that Kejriwal, AAP leader Satyendar Jain, and associates extorted money from Chandrashekhar under the guise of protection, accompanied by threats to withdraw his complaints against AAP members.

"This PE is not against Arvind Kejriwal, and he is not listed as an accused as of now," he said. Asked about PE's target, the sources stated that it was not directed against any specific individual. "We are currently in the process of verifying information to reach a conclusion," the source said.
