Anubrata Mondal TMC strongman Anubrata Mondal gets bail in attempt to murder case
Kolkata/IBNS: Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Anubrata Mondal was on Tuesday granted bail by a Birhbhum court in an attempt to murder case.
Mondal, arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in August in the cattle smuggling case, was also booked by the police under IPC sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 325 (causing grievous hurt), and 307 (attempt to murder) based on the complaint of a TMC worker Shibthakur Mondal who alleged that he was assaulted.
On Tuesday, he was produced at the sub-divisional court in Dubrajpur following the expiry of his seven-day police custody, which granted the TMC strongman bail.
The police registered a case based on the TMC worker's complaint of assault and moved the court on Dec 19, securing a production warrant for Mondal, who was in judicial custody in Asansol.
The timing of the assault case raised questions as the Enforcement Directorate was preparing to take Mondal to Delhi for questioning in connection with the cattle smuggling case acting on the order of a court in the national capital.
