Trinamool Congress MP from Basirhat, Nusrat Jahan, faces an escalation in her legal woes concerning the flat fraud case as the Alipore Judge Court issued an order on Tuesday mandating her personal appearance in the trial proceedings. In previous hearings related to the flat fraud case, Nusrat Jahan had been absent, citing various reasons. However, the court clarified on Tuesday that the Member of Parliament must attend the court sessions when the case is being heard, eliminating the option of sending a lawyer on her behalf, a practice she had employed in the past.
The flat fraud case revolves around Nusrat Jahan's directorship in the company 'Seven Senses Infrastructure Private Limited' during 2014-15. Allegations suggest that the company collected funds under the pretext of providing flats to bank employees, but the promised flats were never delivered, leading to the legal scrutiny and subsequent court proceedings.
