Bengal CID detains Abhishek Banerjee’s aide Sumit Roy after Supreme Court rejects anticipatory bail plea in land case
West Bengal’s Criminal Investigation Department arrested Sumit Roy, an aide to Trinamool leader Abhishek Banerjee, after the Supreme Court on September 10, 2026 denied his anticipatory bail request. Roy is implicated in the Salboni land controversy, in which government land was allegedly sold and the proceeds allegedly funneled into the party’s account. The court’s decision led to his detention.
