The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a chargesheet against suspended TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh and six others in connection with an attack on Enforcement Directorate (ED) officers during a raid on January 5. The raid was conducted at Sheikh's residence in Sandeshkhali, West Bengal, as part of an investigation into a ration scam, officials announced on Tuesday.

According to officials, the CBI submitted its first chargesheet in the case on Monday before a special court.

The incident occurred when a team of ED officials was attacked by a mob of nearly 1,000 people. The officers were at Sheikh's house to arrest him due to his alleged involvement in the multi-crore ration distribution scam and his close ties with the arrested former state food minister Jyoti Priya Mallick.

In addition to his involvement in the ration scam, Sheikh is also the prime accused in cases of alleged sexual atrocities against women and land grabbing in Sandeshkhali. The CBI has taken over the investigation into three incidents related to the January 5 attack. Sheikh was initially arrested by state police on February 29, and the CBI took him into custody on March 6.
