Supreme Court Reviews Probe of Abhishek Banerjee's Aide in Land-Grabbing Case
The Supreme Court is reviewing investigation records related to Sumit Roy, personal assistant to TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, in a land-grabbing case. The court has stayed Roy's arrest but emphasized his cooperation with the probe. The West Bengal government alleges Roy is not cooperating and seeks custodial interrogation. Roy's lawyer cites his constitutional right to silence. The court will hear the matter further after examining sealed police materials, maintaining a balance between investigation and legal rights.
