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 years ago.
The charge sheet was framed against Chowdhury, a senior Congress leader, and eight others in the Baharampur court by police probing the killing of Kalam Sheikh May 15, 2011.
With police declaring Chowdhury as "absconding", the court issued an arrest warrant.
The charges were framed against the accused under section 307 (attempt to murder), 302 (murder), 120B (criminal conspiracy), as also under the arms Act and the Explosive Substances Act.
