Assault case: Supreme Court transfers probe against BJP's Kabir Shankar Bose to CBI

The Supreme Court transferred the investigation into assault cases against BJP leader Kabir Shankar Bose to the CBI. The Court took this decision to ensure an impartial and transparent investigation. The cases involved allegations of assault and political violence, with the petitioner arguing that a fair probe could only be guaranteed if the investigation was handed over to the CBI. The Supreme Court’s intervention highlights the importance of an independent investigation when local authorities are perceived to be biased or influenced by political pressures.
