Jahangir Khan TMC LIVE | Falta's 'Pushpa' Jahangir Khan Arrested By Bengal Special Task Force
Trinamool strongman Jahangir Khan has been arrested from the India-Nepal border in West Bengal, over a month after elections that saw his party lose power
Trinamool strongman Jahangir Khan has been arrested from the India-Nepal border in West Bengal, over a month after elections that saw his party lose power after 15 years. He was picked up by the West Bengal Special Task Force (STF) after the Calcutta High Court refused to extend his interim protection, stating that five police cases had been filed against him after the election results were declared on May 4.
Khan, who branded himself as the local 'Pushpa' after the Telugu action thriller, had been on the radar of law enforcement officers over alleged threats and election fraud attempts. A candidate from the Falta constituency, which went for a repoll on May 21 over voting machine tampering charges, Khan had pulled out of the contest just days before the re-election. The BJP won the seat by a record margin that added to its majority tally, while Khan went incommunicado by locking his office.
