KOLKATA: The Calcutta High Court on Wednesday granted an interim protection from coercive police action to the Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, in a case registered against him at Chandrakona Police Station in West Midnapore district.
A single- judge bench of the Calcutta High Court granted interim protection to Adhikari.
To recall, earlier this month, Adhikari's convoy was attacked at Chandrakona, allegedly by the ruling Trinamool Congress activists while he was returning to Kolkata from Purulia.
