A public interest litigation (PIL) was filed on Monday in the Calcutta High Court, with concerns being raised over potential arrests of approximately 800 TMC workers and leaders. These concerns were reportedly due to directives from the Election Commission.
The PIL was presented before a division bench led by Chief Justice Sujoy Paul, with TMC MP and lawyer Kalyan Banerjee advocating for an urgent hearing. Allegations of preventive arrests have heightened political tensions as the West Bengal Assembly elections approach, scheduled for April 23 and 29.
Political unrest in the state has intensified, marked by frequent clashes among parties. The court is anticipated to address the matter within a few days, according to legal representatives involved in the case.
