“About the arrest of Sheikh Shajahan, Abhishek Banerjee is correct. The matter was stuck in the legal tangle of the court. The Opposition was doing politics using this opportunity. Thanks to the High Court today for clarifying the matter and allowing the police to take action. Shajahan will be arrested within seven days,” Mr. Ghosh posted on X.
TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Feb. 25 claimed that Mr. Shajahan could not be arrested because of legal tangles and stay on FIRs filed by the police.
The court directed that Mr. Shajahan, the Enforcement Directorate, the Central Bureau of Investigation, the State Home Secretary be impleaded as parties in the suo motu matter initiated on the allegations of sexual atrocities on women and the land grab of tribal people.
