Charge sheet filed against union minister in Bengal

Kolkata: A charge sheet was filed in a court in West Bengal's Murshidabad district Friday against Minister of State for Railways Adhir Chowdhury in connection with the murder of a Trinamool Congress worker over two

Police said the charge sheet was filed after prima facie evidence was found against Chowdhury by the probe team.



Angry over the development, the Youth Congress has decided to take out rallies in Baharampur.

The State Congress in a statement said Chowdhury was being framed on trumped-up charges and declared it would launch protests outside every police station.

"This is a conspiracy against Chowdhury. We had a hunch the government could take such an unjust step. This is wrong. This is politically motivated," said state Congress chief Pradip Bhattacharya.
