ED assault case: Bengal Guv asks authorities to arrest TMC leader, probe his links with terrorists
KOLKATA: Expressing concern that TMC leader Sahajahan Sheikh, the prime accused in the case of assault on ED officials, may have "crossed the border", West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose has instructed authorities to arrest him immediately and investigate his alleged connections with terrorists.
His remarks that Sheikh has links with terrorists drew sharp criticism from the ruling TMC on Sunday.
The statement issued by Raj Bhavan late Saturday night highlighted that the governor, upon receiving a complaint in the Peace Room, instructed the police chief to arrest the culprit promptly.
