Calcutta High Court Denies Abhishek Banerjee Relief in Voice Sample Investigation
The Calcutta High Court declined Trinamool leader Abhishek Banerjee's plea to avoid providing voice samples to the CID in an investigation related to alleged violence-inciting remarks during a campaign rally. While the court refused separate relief for the voice sample matter, interim protection granted in the main case remains. Justice Tirthankar Ghosh recused himself, and the case will be reassigned for further directions. Lawyers note that failure to comply with the voice sample request may affect existing protections.
