Kolkata: Calcutta High Court has extended the interim order preventing the police from arresting BJP leader Mukul Roy till March 31 in connection with complaint over the death of a
person in 2015.
Roy had an interim breather last month when he moved an anticipatory bail before the court fearing arrest.
A two-judge bench comprising Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice R Bharadwaj on Wednesday granted the extension of interim relief to Ghosh after the statepolice moved an appeal seeking more time to dig out relevant documents relating to death of Mrinal Kanti Singha Roy, considered to be a mentor of Ghosh during his initial days.
Singha Roy had allegedly had a road accident around midnight on June 8 , 2011 while returning home from at Kanchrapara from Halisahar in North 24-Parganas. He was treated at a local health facility before shifting to a private hospital in Kolkata.
Singha Roy's sister Sonali Kumdu had alleged that her brother was made to stay in a house under supervision of Mukul Roy after his release from the city hospital.
The bench on January 30 directed the authorities to produce all medical records relating to the treatment of Singha Roy.
