In a social media post, the West Bengal unit of the BJP — the TMC’s principal political rival in the state — questioned the party’s decision to nominate individuals who, it claimed, were not associated with the organisation during its years in opposition.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday witnessed a sharp exchange between the West Bengal government and the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), with the State alleging that the anti-money laundering agency was being “weaponised” against political opponents, and the ED countering that it was, in fact, being “terrorised”.
Director General of Police (DGP) of West Bengal Rajeev Kumar, one of the most colourful and controversial figures in the state police in recent times, on Thursday delivered a strong message on courage, resolve and duty while addressing a farewell parade at the Alipore Bodyguard Lines, two days ahead of his scheduled retirement on 31 January.
National Commission for Women (NCW) has issued a formal notice to West Bengal's director general of police (DGP) Rajeev Kumar, demanding an “Action Taken Report” within three days in connection with the alleged abduction and brutal abuse of a young woman from Sodepur, a suburb near Kolkata.
No one can exploit the unrest in Bangladesh to create disturbances on this side of the border, as the state police are vigilant in this matter.
According to a CBI source, the officers went to Nabanna to hand over four letters, two addressed to the state DGP Virendra, and one each to state chief secretary Moloy De and home secretary Alapan Banerjee, seeking information regarding the whereabouts of Kumar, who according to a government source, is on leave from 9 September to 25 September.
The CBI team was active throughout the day after Kumar failed to appear at the time specified.
After the Calcutta High Court withdrew his protection from arrest, the CBI on Friday served a notice to Kumar, asking him to appear before the investigating team on Saturday.
The probe agency has claimed that ex-Kolkata police chief Rajeev Kumar had destroyed the evidence in the chit fund scam when he headed the SIT.
While both she and Sudipto Sen are in custody, no prayer has been made to examine the phone so that the calls received and made can be checked to follow the money trail in the scam case, it was pointed out.
