The South 24 Parganas district administration has demolished an unauthorized portion of a house belonging to former Trinamool Congress strongman Jahangir Khan in Falta.

Mr. Jahangir was arrested on July 8 at the Indo-Nepal border for extortion, murder and criminal intimidation.

The operation began around 8.30 am under the leadership of BDO Sandip Singh Roy, with fire brigade and a large police contingent deployed to maintain law and order.

According to the police, several notices were issued to Mr. Jahangir to remove the structure. The building exceeded two floors and lacked approval. The district administration bulldozed the building.

Mr Jahangir was the TMC candidate in the Falta Assembly constituency and dropped out of the race just before polling. Seven FIRs were lodged against him.

After his arrest, Mr. Khan’s office in Falta was reportedly vandalized.
