The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of West Bengal has claimed that two of its teams in New Delhi and Guwahati were prevented by the local police at the two locations from carrying out investigation in connection with the cash seizure from three Jharkhand MLAs.
A senior officer of the probe agency alleged its officers were detained by Delhi Police on August 3 when they were conducting a raid at a property belonging to an accused, a “close associate” of the three arrested legislators, in the national capital.
Three Congress MLAs from Jharkhand — Irfan Ansari, Rajesh Kachchap and Naman Bixal Kongari — were arrested by West Bengal Police after over ₹49 lakh in cash was seized from a car in which they were travelling.
