Calcutta High Court Orders Handover of Sandeshkhali Accused to CBI

Prime Minister Modi criticizes West Bengal government's handling of the case, emphasizing women's safety.

The Calcutta High Court ordered the West Bengal government to hand over Sandeshkhali accused Sheikh Shahjahan to the CBI, sparking a legal and political battle.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Mamata Banerjee government for allegedly protecting Shahjahan, emphasizing the importance of women's safety in West Bengal.
Shahjahan Sheikh, accused of extortion, land grabbing, and sexual assault, was suspended by the Trinamool Congress and has been a central figure in the ongoing controversy.
The Supreme Court refused an urgent hearing of the West Bengal government's appeal against the High Court's order, leading to Shahjahan's eventual handover to the CBI.
Women from Sandeshkhali met with Prime Minister Modi, sharing their experiences of alleged atrocities, as the BJP aims to highlight women's safety issues in the state ahead of elections.
