Sheikh Shahjahan, a Trinamool Congress leader accused of sexual violence and land grab in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali, was arrested after a 56-day hunt and given 10 days police custody. The arrest came after the Calcutta High Court cleared the way, and he was arrested from the Bamanpukur area of Minakha. In court, police sought 14 days custody, but only 10 days were granted. Shahjahan is set to be produced in court again on March 10. Following his arrest, the TMC announced his suspension from the party for six years. The CID has taken over the investigation into the cases against Shahjahan, including the assault on ED officers during a raid. His arrest has sparked discussions, with the BJP criticizing the lack of charges related to crimes against women in his arrest warrant and questioning the protection provided to him by the West Bengal police. Additionally, Shahjahan's close aide, Aamir Ali Gazi, was arrested by West Bengal Police from Jharkhand. Several places in Sandeshkhali have been put under section 144.
