Delhi Court Summons Trinamool Leader Derek O’Brien In 2024 Protest Case

A Delhi court on Monday summoned TMC leaders Derek O'Brien, Sagarika Ghose, Saket Gokhle and other party functionaries for a holding protest in front of the Election Commission of India despite a prohibitory order in April last year.

Additional chief judicial magistrate Neha Mittal also summoned TMC leaders Santanu Sen, Dola Sen, Nadimul Haque, Vivek Gupta, Arpita Ghosh, Abir Ranjan Bishwas and Sudip Raha to appear on April 30.

Delhi Police alleged on April 8 last year the accused persons gathered outside the main gate of Election Commission of India (ECI) and started protesting with placards and banners without a requisite permission and despite the fact that Section 144 (prohibit gathering) of Code of Criminal Procedure was in place.
