[ad_1]
The CBI got the custody of suspended TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh, who is an accused in the Sandeshkhali ED official attack case, from the CID on Wednesday evening, after a fresh directive by the Calcutta High Court earlier today.
A team of CBI officials reached CID headquarters Bhawani Bhawan before 4 PM. But the handover from the state agency took place at around 6:48 PM, according to PTI.
“Shahjahan Sheikh was handed over to the CBI,” a CID official said.
The CBI had failed to get the custody of Shahjahan Sheikh from the West Bengal CID even after waiting for more than two hours on Tuesday.
The CID had then said the leader of Sandeshkhali was not handed over to the central agency as the state government has moved the Supreme Court against an order of the Calcutta High Court.
