Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court has ordered immediate arrest of Jakir Hossain Gayen from Uttar Jugdia, Mograhat, South 24 Parganas, for his alleged involvement in a case relating to the possession of 64 kg narcotics.
Gayen had moved the bench of Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Aniruddha Roy, seeking anticipatory bail in the case dating back to 2015. The bench was displeased on learning his two earlier applications for anticipatory bail had been rejected by the HC in 2017 and 2020.
There was no mention of this in the petition.
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on November 7, 2015, raided a premises at Gocharan in Joynagar, South 24 Parganas, and seized the contraband. Gayen claimed he had nothing to do with the seizure and was being falsely implicated in the matter. Additional solicitor general Y J Dastoor, assisted by advocate Phiroze Edulji, appeared for the NCB and prayed for action against the accused. The bench noted the first para of the petition stated that Gayen had never moved any application for anticipatory bail and that this statement was false.
Ordering Gayen to surrender and NCB to arrest him, the HC directed he should not to get bail till conclusion of trial. The HC also ordered legal action against his son, Rabiul Gayen.
