Sandeshkhali allegations: SC rejects Bengal government's plea against Calcutta HC order directing CBI probe

The Supreme Court has rejected West Bengal government's plea challenging the Calcutta High Court's order for a CBI investigation into allegations of assault, crime against women, and land grabbing in Sandeshkhali. The state government's concerns about demoralization of the police force following the HC's directive have been overruled. The court has emphasized the importance of a thorough inquiry into the matter, dismissing the need for state intervention in protecting individuals. The decision to uphold the CBI probe reflects a commitment to uncovering the truth behind the reported incidents in Sandeshkhali.
