The Supreme Court of India has rejected the West Bengal government's plea challenging a Calcutta High Court order that directed a CBI investigation into allegations of land grabbing and sexual assault in Sandeshkhali. The apex court's decision upholds the High Court's directive for a thorough probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the serious accusations of violence. The case involves significant allegations of crimes against women and land grabbing, which have drawn considerable attention. The Supreme Court questioned why the state government was interested in protecting an individual in this matter.
