TMC leader Tapan Dutta’s murder case: High Court division bench upholds single-bench order for CBI probe

The state government had handed over the investigation to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the West Bengal Police. However, Pratima and her daughter Puja approached the Calcutta High Court, alleging that Dutta was killed by his own party men and demanded a CBI probe.

On June 9, the single-bench of Justice Rajasekhar Mantha had ordered a CBI probe into the case. However, the state government challenged the order before the division bench of Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court Prakash Srivastava and Justice Rajarshi Bharadwaj.
