The Calcutta High Court has ordered the CBI to investigate allegations of extortion, land grab, and sexual assault in Sandeshkhali, Bengal, ahead of the Lok Sabha election. The court will monitor the probe, spurred by the January 5 attack on Enforcement Directorate officials. Amid petitions for external agencies to intervene, the High Court criticized the ruling Trinamool Congress and stressed the need for impartial investigation. Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam rebuked the Bengal government, emphasizing the seriousness of the allegations. Sandeshkhali remains embroiled in controversy following accusations against suspended Trinamool leader Sheikh Shahjahan.
