Can Kolkata police arrest me under state dacoit law for group assault?

Group assault in Kolkata may attract the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 if it amounts to dacoity under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, requiring at least five persons with the common intention of robbery. The Calcutta High Court has distinguished ordinary assault from dacoity, holding that the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 supplements penal provisions where organized dacoity is prevalent in Kolkata. The West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 may provide for enhanced punishment and preventive detention for habitual dacoits in Kolkata. The Calcutta High Court has granted bail where the prosecution failed to establish the minimum number of accused or common intention in Kolkata. You can challenge a false dacoity FIR before the Calcutta High Court under Section 528 BNBS. The West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 also empowers Kolkata police to attach properties of dacoity accused. Legal representation is essential given the severity of charges in Kolkata.
