Firhad Hakim arrested in Bengal by CBI in Narada Scam





A turning point in the Narada Scam: Trinamool Congress minister Firhad Hakim was arrested by the CBI this morning. 

CBI detectives arrived at his home on Monday morning. A large number of central forces were deployed outside the house. Then he was brought out. He himself said that he was being arrested in the Narda case.

Central forces arrived at Hakim’s home and arrested him on Monday morning. 

Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar had earlier sanctioned CBI investigations against Firhad Hakim and three others: state minister Subrata Mukherjee and former ministers Madan Mitra and Sovan Chatterjee.

The case involves a sting operation by Narada, in which Trinamool leaders were caught on camera accepting bribes.

In 2014, a journalist from Delhi came to Kolkata, posed as a businessman planning to invest in Bengal, gave wads of cash to seven Trinamool MPs, four ministers, one MLA and a police officer as bribe and taped the entire operation.
