Trinamool Chairman Arrested for Corruption in Egra
A man named Swapan Kumar Nayak, who is the chairman of Egra Municipality, was arrested for doing something wrong.
He was accused of giving away government land without permission, which caused the government to lose money.
The police found out about this because someone complained.
The chairman was supposed to go to court on Saturday.
Some people in his political party, Trinamool Congress, wanted him to step down, but he didn't.
This caused some trouble in the political circles.
Swapan Kumar Nayak, Chairman of Egra Municipality, was arrested on charges of corruption and illegal land leasing.
The arrest was based on a complaint filed by the Block Land Reforms Officer (BLRO) of Egra-I block on December 20.
Nayak is accused of transferring government land without proper approval, resulting in a significant loss of government revenue.
The Trinamool Congress leadership had asked Nayak to resign, but he refused, leading to a no-confidence motion by six councillors.
