Kolkata, July 03 (HS). Calcutta High Court has strongly reprimanded West Bengal Police in a strange case. A youth who had accused state minister Arup Roy of filling up a pond was arrested and jailed by the police without any complaint. The name of that youth is Irshad Sultan. The family had filed a petition in the High Court on Tuesday against his arrest. The case was heard in the court of Justice Amrita Sinha on Wednesday.
The judge reprimanded the West Bengal Police and asked if a citizen would be arrested if he expresses anger against any illegal act. He asked if Arup Roy had filed any complaint in this matter. The Bengal Police is saying that no complaint has been filed, then why was the arrest made? The police is interfering in the personal freedom of the people in this way.
The judge also ordered to preserve the CCTV footage of the police station on the day of the youth's arrest and made a strict remark that the youth should be released today. In fact, the youth named Irshad Sultan who had accused Arup Roy is a worker of the ruling party Trinamool Congress. On Thursday, when Mamata Banerjee was holding a meeting with administrative officials in the state secretariat, he had posted a post on Facebook in which he had accused Arup Roy of filling ponds in many wards of Howrah.
