Supreme Court stays arrest of Sumit Roy in Salboni land-grabbing case

The Supreme Court of India on Thursday stayed the arrest of Sumit Roy, a personal assistant to Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, regarding an ongoing land-grabbing investigation in Salboni. The court ordered Roy to cooperate with the investigation, which involves allegations of cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy. This decision follows the Calcutta High Court's rejection of Roy's anticipatory bail plea on August 3.
