00:00Paraded in shots in Falta. He was a strong man in the Falta region, but later a man who earned
00:08a lot of broth from the locals, from those who had been intimidated by Firhad Hakeem.
00:15I beg your pardon, Jahangir Khan. Jahangir Khan is who I am referring to. Jahangir Khan, the strong man of
00:21Falta who cops paraded in shots.
00:24Those pictures on your screens will come in shortly where Jahangir Khan was arrested for voter intimidation.
00:29Jahangir Khan was picked up by TMC to contest Falta repoles, but he backed out just two days before the
00:35elections.
00:36And there you see those visuals, clear visuals of the man who was once intimidating for the voters, who once
00:42threatened voters,
00:43who has strong allegations of how he has gone on to exploit people.
00:47But there the police showing him as a weak man, showing him as a person who is now bowing down
00:53as he was paraded in shots in Falta.
00:55Let me take this to my colleague Tapa Sen Gupta to get us more details on how symbolic this is.
01:01The message that the cops are trying to send out to the locals, don't be scared of him.
01:04You may have been for all these years, but understand he's well within the framework of the law.
01:10He will get exactly what he has been doing all these years and he'll get the correct result of it.
01:17And this is the man who is now looking weak among all those people who had been intimidated by him.
01:27TAPAS!
01:36Alright, not too sure if TAPAS can still hear me, but we are staying with those pictures because this is
01:41important.
01:42This is an exercise that is being carried out to send out a message to the people of Falta.
01:46TAPAS, if you can hear me, do take us through details of how the police conducted this exercise
01:50because the purpose of it is very clear.
01:53The purpose of it is to tell people that do not be scared of these goons.
01:56He may have scared you for a very long time, misusing his powers within the TMC, but he's well within
02:01the framework of the law now.
02:03He cannot and cannot continue to exploit the locals like he was and that is the strong message that is
02:10going out.
02:19Alright, we'll try and reconnect that line with TAPAS, but there you see how he was paraded on the streets
02:23of Falta in a pair of shorts.
02:25This is the man who used to walk around, he used to scare people, he used to ensure that everyone
02:29bows down in front of him.
02:31He used to intimidate voters, he used to tell them to vote for the TMC, but now that he is
02:37in the custody of the cops,
02:38here they are telling the people do not be scared of him.
02:41That's right, that's right.
02:45That's right, I'm sorry!
02:47I don't know that.
02:48I'm sure he won't you.
02:48I'm sure he is.
02:49Like in the middle of the time, he's making a noise, right?
