Trinamool Leader Arrested Over Illegal Buildings in Beleghata

A powerful real estate developer named Raju Naskar was arrested for building houses without permission in Beleghata, Kolkata.

He had been hiding since May when the police started investigating him.

The chief minister of West Bengal mentioned Naskar's 18 illegal properties and asked the city officials to look into them.

The police found out that Naskar built illegal houses on two roads in Beleghata.

Many families living in these houses had to go to the city officials when they were told to demolish the buildings.

One woman said her father had an agreement with Naskar but never saw any approved building plans.

She felt powerless to do anything because Naskar was a powerful man.
