Calcutta High Court Issues Various Directions To CBI
On Monday, the Calcutta High Court mandated a court-monitored CBI investigation into allegations of crimes against women and land encroachment in Sandeshkhali, stressing the necessity for an "impartial inquiry" in the interest of justice.
Additionally, the CBI has been tasked by the court to prepare a comprehensive report on the purported unlawful conversion of agricultural land into water bodies for pisciculture, following a thorough examination of revenue records and on-site inspections.
According to PTI, the court has also requested the central agency to furnish a detailed report by the next hearing scheduled on May 2. Furthermore, the state government has been instructed to extend necessary assistance to the central probe agency.
The agency is investigating three cases related to attacks on Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials at Sandeshkhali allegedly by a mob at the behest of Trinamool Congress (TMC) strongman Shahjahan Sheikh.
