Salboni land grab case: WB tells SC custodial interrogation of Abhishek Banerjee's PA 'needed'
The West Bengal government on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that custodial interrogation of Sumit Roy, personal secretary to TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee, was needed in the Salboni land grab case as a huge amount of cash had been deposited by him in a bank.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the state, told a bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana that Roy had been evasive during the investigation.
"I have placed on record the transcripts. There is a detailed investigation and he has been evasive," Mehta told the bench.
