Times of India | 25 December 2024
12 Kolkata: Calcutta High Court on Tuesday stayed until Jan 23 next year criminal proceedings against NIA officers who went on a raid in East Midnapore's Bhupatinagar to investigate a blast in April.
The wife of one of the two persons arrested during the raid had lodged a molestation complaint against the NIA officers.
The accused had moved the HC praying for quashing of the criminal proceedings, arguing that Bhupatinagar police had filed false charges against them without conducting a preliminary inquiry.
The HC had earlier restrained the state police from arresting the NIA officers.
Justice Jay Sengupta on Tuesday stayed criminal proceedings until Jan 23, 2025.
