Banerjee rushed to the 15th floor of the ‘Nizam Palace’ where the CBI has the office of its anti-corruption cell.
“The way they have been arrested without due procedure, CBI will have to arrest me also,” the Bengal Chief Minister reportedly said at the CBI office in Nizam Palace.

Mamata Banerjee told the CBI officers they have arrested the four leaders, among them two sitting and two former ministers, without the mandatory notice. “These arrests are politically motivated and illegal. Suvendu Adhikari and Mukul Roy have been let off though they faced the same charges”.
Central forces guarding the CBI office were not letting media persons inside the office.
