TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee’s aide Sumit Roy arrested by CID

Sumit Roy, the personal assistant to Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee, has been taken into custody by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The arrest took place following a police and CID operation at the MP’s residence in Kalighat, after which Roy was transported to the CID headquarters at Bhawani Bhawan.

The arrest is linked to an ongoing investigation involving Shalboni. While reports confirm the detention, there is a slight variation in terminology regarding the nature of the action taken, with some accounts describing the event as an arrest and others referring to it as a detention.

Prior to this development, Roy had been summoned to the CID headquarters on multiple occasions in connection with the same case. During those earlier proceedings, the Supreme Court had granted a stay on his arrest, contingent upon his cooperation with the investigative authorities.

The situation remains a developing story as authorities continue their probe into the matter. No further details regarding the specific charges or the next steps in the legal process have been disclosed at this time.
