(Express Photo) The West Bengal Police have intensified their crackdown on Rejina Bibi, alias Sarina, the wife of arrested Trinamool Congress leader Jahangir Khan, slapping fresh charges against her under the Arms and Explosives Acts. The action comes on the heels of a stern public warning by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, who declared that “no hooliganism will be tolerated.”
With the arrest of seven more individuals, the total number of arrests in connection with the attack on the Falta police station has now climbed to 15.
According to senior police sources, the attempt to storm the police station was a deeply premeditated conspiracy. “Our investigation reveals that a strategy meeting was chaired by Jahangir’s wife a day prior to the incident,” a senior officer stated. “The plan was to mobilize hundreds of supporters at a designated spot three kilometers away from the Falta police station, and then launch an organized assault to forcibly secure Jahangir Khan’s release.”
