Following this, Congress said it would move Calcutta High Court seeking Pradhan\u2019s bail.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>Pradhan is already in judicial custody until Oct 3 in three 2007 cases registered during the land acquisition movement that implicate him for murder, among other charges, registered at Nandigram police station. On Saturday, Khejuri police submitted an arrest warrant in a fourth case, and Nandigram cops filed another on Sunday. Pradhan is scheduled to be produced before both Contai and Haldia sub-divisional courts on Monday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Speaking on this, West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson Ajitesh Pandey said, \u201cMilan Pradhan is being deliberately entangled in one legal hassle after another. He was arrested right before the Nandigram bypoll in a 19-year-old case, and police are continually filing new warrants. We will approach the Calcutta High Court for his bail either on Monday or Tuesday.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Pandey alleged, \u201cGiven the fresh cases filed, his stepping out of jail before the election seems doubtful.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>He went on to say, \u201cNearly 40 individuals were named in almost every case. Police claim they couldn\u2019t trace 20 of them. Of the remaining 20, how is it that the police only managed to find Milan Pradhan?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Pandey added, \u201cThe original complainants themselves had expressed a desire to withdraw these cases. In 2025, Trinamool reopened these files to target Suvendu Adhikari (then the leader of opposition) and his aides. Today, that very weapon is being used against Milan.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Speaking on the party\u2019s possible legal strategy in HC, a Congress senior said, \u201cWe will ask why it was necessary to arrest Pradhan 19 years after the incident, particularly after he physically submitted his nomination at the Haldia SDO\u2019s office and was actively campaigning in Nandigram.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>\u201cPradhan could have reported to the police station whenever summoned for investigation, yet police chose to arrest him,\u201d the neta added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Speaking on how this has hit Congress\u2019s campaign, Pandey said, \u201cCongress is yet to launch its campaign in Nandigram, with workers preoccupied with the legal trouble. However, Milan\u2019s election agent and workers will soon hit the ground for booth-level campaigning. Congress will pour its full strength into the electoral fight as well.\u201d<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/kolkata\/another-warrant-against-milan-cong-to-move-hc\/articleshow\/134371430.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nandigram: Congress candidate for the Nandigram Assembly by-election Milan Pradhan, who has been arrested in connection with an old murder case.
