The Calcutta High Court on 26th February clarified that there is no stay on arrests of TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh, who has been accused of sexual assault and land grabbing in Sandeshkhali.
The court's clarification came a day after TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee said the Bengal government has been unable to arrest Sheikh as the court had "tied the hands the police".
The court said that it had stayed only the formation of a special investigating team and never restrained government from acting against Sheikh.
