The violent protest got here after the central company earlier immediately arrested the 4 TMC leaders in reference to the Narada sting case wherein politicians had been purportedly caught taking cash on digicam. The Bengal Governor had not too long ago granted sanction to prosecute all of the 4 leaders, following which the CBI finalised its cost sheet and moved to arrest them.
All 4 had been ministers within the earlier Mamata Banerjee authorities when the Narada bribery tapes had been launched in 2014.
The Narada sting tapes, made public earlier than the 2016 meeting elections in Bengal, had been claimed to have been shot in 2014, and other people resembling TMC ministers, MPs, and MLAs had been allegedly seen within the video taking bribes in lieu of favoured guarantees.
While TMC has claimed that it’s a conspiracy by BJP to topple the Mamata Banerjee authorities in Bengal, BJP has mentioned that CBI is doing its job.Â
