Calcutta High Court Seeks Case Diary in Attempted Murder Case Against TMC Councillor
A politician named Mrinmoy Das is accused of trying to murder a man named Ranjit Karmakar.
Ranjit's wife says that Mr. Das and others poured gasoline on her husband and set him on fire.
Mr. Das says he's innocent and is being targeted because of politics.
The judge in the big court wants to see all the police notes about the case and has ordered police to keep Ranjit and his family safe.
The judge will look at the case again later.
Calcutta High Court has ordered police to produce the case diary in an alleged attempted murder case against TMC councillor Mrinmoy Das.
