Hindustan TimesA West Bengal district court on Thursday ordered the transfer of Trinamool Congress strongman Anubrata Mondal from the local correctional home in Asansol to Delhi’s Tihar jail noting that in the National Capital, he can be produced before a special court, Enforcement Directorate officials said. Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal The order came after Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court on Wednesday asked the ED why Mondal, a prime suspect in the cattle smuggling case, was not being produced before it, although a production warrant for this was issued in December 2022. “The Rouse Avenue court’s order was produced before the Asansol court on Thursday with an appeal to shift Mondal to Delhi,” the official added. In December, senior lawyer Kapil Sibal moved the Delhi high court for Mondal, challenging the ED’s bid to take Mondal to Delhi, but the matter was again referred to the Rouse Avenue court.
