Whatever is to be done under the law and the constitution, will be done. This is not a promise but a commitment."

Shahjahan is under ED's radar for his alleged involvement in the said multi-crore scam and raids have been conducted at his residence in Bengal's Sandeshkhali in North 24 Parganas district. He is currently on the run after ED officials were attacked on their way to raid his residence on January 5.

The BJP has been strongly protesting over the crumbling law and order situation in Bengal. In Barrackpore, the party workers protested against the Mamata Banerjee and were met with water canons in response.

"We did a protest outside the CP office. Police used water cannons and tear gas, they lathi-charged and even pelted stones. This is a Taliban police working on the instructions of Mamata Banerjee. Women have been lathi-charged by policemen. Ashish Maurya is the police officer. We will go to the court against him," Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar told reporters.
