Arjun Singh gets temporary relief till Thursday in bomb blast case, no arrest till next hearing

The Calcutta High Court has granted temporary relief to former BJP MP Arjun Singh in the bomb blast case outside his residence. Justice Joy Sengupta issued a verbal order stating that Singh cannot be arrested until the next hearing on Thursday. This comes after the Barrackpore court issued an arrest warrant against him on Tuesday following a police request.

The case pertains to a bomb blast near Arjun Singh’s house, which led to heightened security and political tensions in the area. The police launched an investigation and sought his questioning in connection with the incident. After he failed to appear despite summons, the Barrackpore court issued an arrest warrant. Singh then moved the High Court seeking legal protection.

During the hearing, the High Court directed the state authorities not to take any coercive action against Singh until the next proceedings. The court will review his plea for anticipatory bail and further legal protection on Thursday. The police have been instructed to wait for the court's final decision before taking any further steps.

The incident has led to increased security in the affected area, with officials monitoring the situation closely. Authorities have yet to disclose further details about the investigation, and no official statements have been issued regarding additional suspects or possible motives behind the explosion. The next hearing will determine the legal course of action in the case.
