It may be mentioned TMC leader Anubrata Mondal was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with a cattle smuggling case from Bolpur in West Bengal.
Mondal was served with ten summons by the CBO but he only appeared for two. As he skipped multiple summonses, the CBI arrested him for not “cooperating”.
Reportedly, he even refused to sign the arrest memo and locked himself in a room when the CBI arrested him.
