Shortly after the CBI arrested three Trinamool Congress leaders including MLA Madan Mitra in the Narada case, Ms Banerjee reached the Nizam's Palace in central Kolkata.
Sources claimed that she had made it clear to the CBI official that she would have to be arrested if the three were arrested.
Former city Mayor Sovan Chatterjee was also arrested in the same case.
They said the Chief Minister was on the 15th floor of Nizam Palace where the arrested leaders have been kept there.
Banerjee said that the Trinamool leaders have been arrested illegally. As a result, she must be arrested.
The chief minister warned that she would not come out unless she was arrested. Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Biman Banejree claimed that the arrest process was illegal.
He said that in order to arrest the MLA, it is necessary to get the permission of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. In this case it was not taken. (UNI)
