Zombie Drug Xylazine Spreads To India; Sparks Health Concerns
Sheikh Shahjahan, a former Trinamool leader accused of extortion, land grabbing, and sexual assault in Bengal’s Sandeshkhali, his custody was given to CBI by the Calcutta High Court on Tuesday.
Bengal Police are allowed until 4:30 pm to hand over Shahjahan and any related files.
The government of Bengal promptly appealed the order to the Supreme Court, but its request for a prompt hearing was denied. The highest court requested that senior attorney Abhishek Singhvi bring up the plea before its Registrar-General, stating that it will follow the norms.
A previous order forming a special investigative team consisting of state police and CBI officers was overturned by a High Court bench led by Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam, and the case was moved to the central agency.
The state and the Enforcement Directorate filed separate objections to that order; the state wanted the police to conduct the investigation, while the ED wanted the matter to be assigned completely to CBI.
Since a group of Sheikh Shahjahan’s supporters ambushed a group of Enforcement Directorate officials on January 5 when they were traveling to carry out operations, the man has remained missing.
