There is a major update in Sandeshkhali violence. West Bengal police arrested Trinamool Congress leader Sheikh Shahjahan who has been accused of sexually assaulting many women as well as land grabbing in Sandeshkhali. Reportedly, he was arrested from the Minakhan area in North 24 Parganas in the early hours of Thursday morning. He is expected to be produced before a local court in Basirhat court in West Bengal at 2pm on 29th February. Shahjahan has been evading arrest by both state and Central Agencies for over a month. A large number of women in Sandeshkhali had accused Sheikh Shahjahan of "land-grab and sexual assault". Bengal BJP leaders have been protesting, demanding Shahjahan’s arrest ever since allegations came to the fore.
