Bengal: Jahangir Khan sent to five-day police custody amid tight Security at Diamond Harbour Court

Kolkata, June 9 (UNI) Trinamool Congress leader and former Falta MLA Jahangir Khan was on Tuesday remanded to five-day police custody by a lower court in West Bengal amid stringent security arrangements.
Police brought Khan to the Diamond Harbour Sub-Divisional Court premises at around 4-30 a.m., several hours before the commencement of court proceedings and lodged him in the court lock-up. Sources said the move was aimed at preventing any untoward incident, as investigators had received inputs about possible demonstrations against the former TMC leader.
Officials feared that while being escorted to court, Khan could be the target of eggs, tomatoes or other projectiles from protestors. To avoid public confrontation, he was transported under heavy security cover before dawn and kept away from public view until the hearing began.
