IIE DIGITAL DESK ; South 24 Parganas, June 11: South 24 Parganas after Jahangir Khan, who is currently in police custody in connection with an extortion case, was seen being taken out by police and made to walk in public wearing a pair of shorts and a vest. The visuals and videos of the incident have gone viral, triggering a political uproar and widespread debate over police conduct and investigative procedures.

Jahangir Khan, who has been in five-day police custody, was brought out by officers on Thursday and made to walk in the locality wearing a simple T-shirt, shorts, and a vest. Eyewitnesses said the accused appeared subdued during the outing, walking under police supervision with his head often lowered and remaining largely silent throughout the process.

Police sources stated that such outings are often conducted as part of investigation procedures, including crime scene reconstruction or verification of facts. However, in this particular case, locals noted that the appearance and handling of the accused stood out due to his political background and influence in the area.

Local accounts further suggest that when Jahangir Khan was brought out of the police vehicle, he was dressed in very ordinary clothing, including a simple sleeveless vest and shorts. He was then escorted through the locality by police personnel as part of the ongoing investigation.

The incident has drawn significant attention because Jahangir Khan was previously known in the region as a politically influential figure, often seen moving around with supporters and wearing expensive clothing. His sudden public appearance in a stripped-down and subdued condition has surprised local residents and intensified discussions about the ongoing case.

Political reactions have also begun to surface following the circulation of the visuals, with opposition voices questioning both the circumstances of the investigation and the manner in which the accused was presented in public. Meanwhile, authorities have maintained that the investigation is being conducted according to legal procedures and that all actions taken are part of standard investigative requirements.

The extortion case is currently underway, and police are expected to question the accused further as part of efforts to uncover the full extent of the alleged financial irregularities and associated activities.
