Monday was served with ten summons by the CBO but he only appeared for two. As he skipped multiple summonses, the CBI arrested him for not “cooperating”. 

Reportedly, he even refused to sign the arrest memo and locked himself in a room when the CBI arrested him.

Anubrata Mondal’s arrested is a huge blow to the TMC as he is the Birbhum district president.

It may be mentioned that his personal bodyguard, Saigal Hossain was earlier arrested in June by the CBI in connection with the case.
