The High Court of Tripura on Thursday ordered an interim stay in the investigation against senior Trinamool Congress leaders including party’s national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee in connection with their visit at the Khowai police station in Khowai district on August 8.
Chief Justice Akil Kureshi passed the order after hearing a petition filed on behalf of Mr. Banerjee and five other TMC leaders who were booked for allegedly creating ruckus at the Khowai police station and obstructing police officers from discharging duty.
Other leaders who were named in the FIR are West Bengal Education Minister Bratya Basu, MP Dola Sen, party’s West Bengal general secretary Kunal Ghosh and two local leaders. The High Court on September 2 admitted a petition that sought the court’s order to quash the complaint bearing FIR No. 77 of 2021 registered with the Khowai police station for offence punishable under Section 186 (with sub Section 34) of the IPC.
