Calcutta HC Dismisses Appeal Over CBI Probe in BJP Worker Murders
The Calcutta High Court has said the CBI will investigate the 2019 murders of three BJP workers.
A politician, Sheikh Shajahan, tried to stop this CBI investigation.

The original order was for the CBI to investigate, led by a special team, and Shajahan is currently in jail for another case.
Calcutta High Court dismissed Sheikh Shajahan's appeal against a CBI probe.
Shajahan, a suspended TMC leader, challenged the CBI probe into the 2019 murders.
