to cooperate with agency Kolkata, May 2 (Reporter) Calcutta High Court on Thursday directed the West Bengal government to extend all co-operation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the investigation of alleged sexual assault on the women, grabbing of tribal land and extortion at Sandeshkhali in North 24 Parganas, court sources said. The order happened after the federal probe agency submitted a preliminary report on its investigation so far into the cases of alleged mass sexual assaults on the women, land grabbing of the poor tribal people and random extortion and intimidation on the people of Sandeshkhali by arrested gram panchayat TMC leader Sahjahan Shaikh and by his party associates in the locality in the division bench of Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharyya. The judges noted the CBI report while verifying over 900 complaints it received regarding the grabbing of tribal lands. The CBI, which is probing the case of attacks on the Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials by Sahjahan Sheikh supporters on January 5, informed the court that state government was cooperating with the investigation. The TMC leader, known as the strongman of North 24 Parganas and had close contact with arrested Bengal food minister Jyoti Priya Mallick, was arrested 55 days after the attack on the ED personnel, and is now under the ED custody. "Let the State of West Bengal extend the fullest cooperation to the CBI in the probe," chief justice Sivagnanam was quoted as saying by the sources. The CBI is probing the case after a high court's order on April 10. Advocate Priyanka Tibrewal, appearing for the victims, informed the court that she had received phone calls from her clients that they had been still receiving threat calls for filing cases against Sahjahan Sheikh and his associates, some of whom were arrested by the CBI. The next hearing is on June 14...////...
