In a dramatic turn of events, U.S. federal law enforcement sources revealed on October 4, 2025, that the FBI is considering staging a “perp walk” for former FBI Director James Comey in connection with ongoing investigations into alleged misconduct during his tenure. While the Justice Department has not issued an official indictment yet, insiders suggest that prosecutors are weighing whether a public arrest — often involving walking a high-profile suspect in handcuffs before cameras — would be deemed appropriate given Comey’s stature and public profile. The move has already sparked intense political debate in Washington. Supporters of the plan argue that equal treatment under the law requires visible accountability, while critics warn that such a spectacle could further politicize the justice system. Comey, who was dismissed by former President Donald Trump in 2017, has remained a divisive figure in U.S. politics, often criticized by both Republicans and Democrats for his handling of the 2016 election investigations. For now, no final decision has been made, but legal experts note that the very consideration of a “perp walk” underscores the high stakes and public sensitivity of the case. #JamesComey #FBI #USPolitics #JusticeDepartment #PerpWalk #WashingtonDC #LegalNews #HighProfileCase
Former West Bengal education minister Partha Chatterjee has been granted conditional bail by the Calcutta High Court in the high-profile cash-for-jobs recruitment scam involving government-aided primary schools. Chatterjee had been in custody since July 2022 after agencies uncovered large amounts of cash tied to his aide and alleged irregularities in teacher appointments. However, he cannot walk out immediately. The court has placed several conditions on his release: he must surrender his passport, deposit his phone, stay within the court’s jurisdiction, and refrain from holding public office until the trial concludes. Also, per Supreme Court direction, the trial court must record testimony of the remaining witnesses before final release. Many see this as a significant moment in a case that has drawn public and political attention, especially given the scale of alleged corruption and the number of jobs affected. At the same time, the constraints placed on Chatterjee’s bail reflect the judiciary’s attempt to balance the rights of the accused with ensuring fair trial and preventing interference. #ParthaChatterjee #BailGranted #CashForJobsScam #WestBengal #TeacherRecruitment #LegalNews #CorruptionCase #ConditionalBail #CBI #JudicialProcess
