In a significant breakthrough, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday apprehended Arun Dey, a prime suspect in the 2021 murder of BJP leader Abhijit Sarkar in West Bengal. This arrest follows an intensive four-year investigation by the agency.
According to officials, Dey, also known as Bhai, had been evading capture since August 25, 2021, when the case was officially opened. He was finally subdued in a meticulously planned operation by CBI officials.
Dey was brought before the City Sessions Court in Calcutta and has been placed in judicial custody. The CBI, acting on orders from the Calcutta High Court, has charged 20 individuals in connection with the case since the brutal incident in Kankurgachi on May 2, 2021, following the announcement of West Bengal assembly election results.
