CBI vs Kolkata Police: Can the state police detain CBI officer?


Many opposition leaders have already claimed that the Narendra Modi government is misusing the CBI and unleashing them on the leaders.

In this video, we bring you the timeline of the event and answer a persistent question: Can the state police officials detain the CBI officers?
