The Lokpal, the national anti‑corruption body, has declined to pursue the charges brought against Arup, a former member of the Trinamool Congress who recently left the party. In a statement, the Lokpal said the evidence presented did not satisfy the threshold for a formal investigation. The dismissal means no further legal action will be taken against the MP at this time. The ruling could have implications for the political dynamics within the party and the broader governance landscape in West Bengal.
