Following the arrest of four TMC leaders on Monday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited the CBI Office. She rushed to the 15th floor of the ‘Nizam Palace’ that houses CBI’s anti-corruption cell and asserted that she would not leave until the leaders are released.
The arrest comes a week after West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar accorded sanction to prosecute the four former TMC ministers. A special CBI court on Monday evening granted bail to all four TMC leaders after CM Mamata sat in protest outside the office. The four were arrested in connection with the Narada case. A virtual hearing was conducted at Bankshall Court in Kolkata in which special CBI court judge Anupam Mukherjee gave relief to the top Bengal ministers. The four include ministers Subrata Mukherjee and Firhad Hakim, MLA Madan Mitra and former minister Sovan Chatterjee. TMC supporters held demonstrations defying lockdown norms in various places because of the sudden raid and arresting orders of all four. TMC party supporters raised slogans against the BJP- led NDA government. They hurled stones and bricks at security personnel outside Nizam Palace.
Not only this, but the agitators also burnt tyres and blocked roads in several other parts of the state, including Hooghly, North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas districts.
