Kolkata. After the change of government in West Bengal, the National Investigation Agency has expedited the investigation of Mothabadi judge harassment case. The Central Investigation Agency raided various areas of Kaliachak and Mothabadi in Malda district late on Monday night and arrested 14 people.
With this, a total of 68 people have been arrested in this case so far. NIA will present these people in the court today and demand their custody. The investigating agency believes that by interrogating them, other people related to this case can be identified.
