Supreme Court declines pre-arrest relief to Abhishek Banerjee’s PA
The Supreme Court rejected a request for pre‑arrest relief for Abhishek Banerjee’s personal assistant, citing the West Bengal government’s claim that the assistant’s responses were evasive. The government, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, said that custodial questioning was essential to the investigation. The court’s decision leaves the assistant’s detention in place and the court has not yet ruled on further legal steps.
