Supreme Court stays arrest of Abhishek Banerjee's aide Sumit Roy

Sumit Roy is a helper to Abhishek Banerjee, an important politician in West Bengal.

The police say Roy took government-owned land in a place called Salboni and sold it using fake papers.

Taking land that belongs to the government is against the law, so the police want to arrest him.

Roy went to the Supreme Court, the highest court in the country, to ask for protection.

The court said Roy will not be arrested for now.

But it also said he must cooperate with the investigation and be available for questions from 10 in the morning to 6 in the evening.

The court said he must come alone, without a lawyer or anyone else.

The government's lawyer wanted Roy to be kept in jail for questioning, but the court granted him protection anyway.

Earlier, another court had said Roy could be arrested in the land case, though it gave him protection in a different case about jobs.

Now Roy must help the police with their investigation while the case continues.
