In connection with the West Bengal livestock smuggling case, the CBI detained the TMC leader in August. Anubrata Mandal, the president of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) Birbhum district, was sentenced by the CBI Special Court to 14 days of judicial detention in connection with an alleged livestock smuggling case.

CBI had called Mondal on multiple occasions, but he had refused, citing health problems. On August 11, he was ultimately taken into custody outside of his Bolpur home in the Birbhum district.

Mamata Banerjee’s close friend and confidant Mondal was recently detained in connection with a cattle-smuggling case.
