Bengal STF on Monday took major action against TMC's 'Pushpa' Jahangir Khan. He was arrested from Nepal. Jahangir had fled to Nepal through Pashupatinath Market on the border of West Bengal and Nepal. He was hiding in Nepal itself to escape from the police. Bengal STF got information from a source, after which he was arrested.
Jahangir Khan is considered the right hand of TMC MP and Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee. According to the information, the people of Phalta were fed up with Jahangir's arbitrariness for a long time. There were many charges against him including robbery and extortion. Jahangir was away from home after the election results were announced. His search was continuing. Now Bengal STF has arrested him.
Jahangir faces serious allegations of intimidating people during the 2024 elections, extorting money, illegally occupying land and possessing unaccounted wealth. In the 2024 elections, Mamata's nephew and TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee had won from the Diamond Harbor seat by a record margin of about 7 lakh votes. It is believed that Jahangir had the biggest role in giving Abhishek such a big victory. Staying behind the scenes, he made the strategy for this complete victory and implemented it on the ground.
