Ex-Bengal minister Indranil Sen arrested in Durga Puja extortion case

Former West Bengal minister Indranil Sen, a singer who rose to power under the Trinamool Congress, has been arrested in connection with a June 8 complaint. The complaint alleges a multi-crore extortion scheme centred on Durga Puja "preview shows". The arrest under the BJP government marks a sharp reversal of fortune for the one-time Trinamool favourite.
