About Sandeshkhali incident that involved TMC strongman Shahjahan Sheikh
West Bengal's Sandeshkhali, located in North 24 Parganas district, has been witnessing widespread protests against Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Shahjahan Sheikh. Last month, a section of women were seeking justice against alleged atrocities committed by the TMC strongman, who was on the run. A large number of women in Sandeshkhali had accused him and his close aides of "land-grab and sexual assault" under coercion.
Sheikh was nabbed by the security agencies on February 29 in the Minakhan area, around 30 km away from the island of Sandeshkhali on the outskirts of Sunderbans.
Currently, the matter is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which obtained the custody of the suspended TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh. The CBI had visited Sheikh's house and office in Sandeshkhali on Thursday, February 7. However, the team found both premises locked.
Apart from sexual harassment charges, Sheikh is also an accused in two cases filed at Nazat police station in connection with an assault on Enforcement Directorate officers on January 5 during a raid at his house in a ration scam case.
