CM should have acted earlier: Basu

Asked about Trinamool Congress8217;s reported offer to Rukbanur Rehman, Rizwanur8217;s elder brother, to become a candidate for the party in the next elections, Basu said: 8220;I don8217;t know about this. But our party should stand by their family.8221;

However, Rehman, when contacted, told The Indian Express: 8220;The talk of my becoming a candidate for the TMC is all rubbish. This story is being planted by people who want to dampen our efforts to get justice.8221; On the CBI case filed against the Todis, he said: 8220;We have heard that they have filed a murder case against the Todi family. Let them come and we will tell them how my brother was killed by the Todis.8221;
