Details of Sujit Bose's Arrest and Allegations
Bose, who was a minister in the Mamata Banerjee government, was arrested on May 11 by the ED in connection with its money laundering probe into an alleged municipality recruitment scam in the state.
The TMC leader moved the high court challenging his arrest by the central agency.
Court's Decision and Next Steps
