Extortion Case: Dinhata Court Remands TMC Leader Udayan Guha to Police Custody
A local court in Dinhata, West Bengal, has remanded senior Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and former state minister Udayan Guha to six days of police custody following his arrest in an alleged extortion and cheating case. The legal action stems from complaints accusing the political figure of financial misappropriation and collecting illegal “cut money” from beneficiaries during his tenure.
Law enforcement officials presented the former North Bengal Development Minister in court following his apprehension by a police team. Investigators plan to utilize the six-day custody period to interrogate Guha and delve deeper into the financial irregularities surrounding the case. Meanwhile, the TMC leadership has raised concerns over the timing of the arrest, hinting at potential political motivations behind the crackdown.
