Centre vs Mamata LIVE: SC Says Kolkata Top Cop Can't Be Arrested But Must Appear Before CBI

Centre vs Mamata Banerjee LIVE: The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar to appear before the CBI but ruled that no coercive action, including arrest, can be taken against him for now, prompting West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee to call it a "moral victory".

Saying that she was grateful to the SC, Mamata claimed that Rajeev Kumar never said he was not available and the two parties should meet at a mutually agreed place. She said Kumar had written five letters to the CBI, saying that he was available for a meeting. “But what they started doing? They went to his house to arrest him. The court has said no arrest.”
