TMC MLA killing: HC grants anticipatory bail to Roy

KOLKATA: The Calcutta high court Wednesday directed the West Bengal police to not arrest BJP leader Mukul Roy till March 7 in connection with the murder case of TMC MLA Satyajit Biswas. The court, however, refused to grant anticipatory bail “at this stage” to the BJP leader, “keeping in mind the gravity of the crime”. A division bench comprising justices Joymalya

Bagchi and M Mandal, while granting protection to Roy from arrest till March 7, said it will hear the matter again on March 5. The bench also asked Roy to not enter Nadia district till further orders, except for the purpose of investigation or attending court proceedings.
