A city court today remanded four police personnel to jail custody in connection with the killing of BJP activist from Kankurgachi, Abhjit Sarkar, in 2021, after Assembly polls.
The court today also rejected the petition of anticipatory bail by the 10 accused in the case. The four police personnel remanded to jail custody were, former additional commissioner, who was then the officer in-charge of Narkeldanga police station Subhojit Sen, Sujata De, Ratna Sarkar and Dipankar Debnath.
In the 2021 post-poll violence case, Narkeldanga police, which was investigating the case earlier, had filed chargesheet against 15 accused police personnel. The case was later handed over to the CBI. In a supplementary chargesheet, it had named 20 accused persons in the case.
