Kolkata:
The murder of a Trinamool Congress leader, which had allegedly led to a revenge attack in which nine people were burnt to death in West Bengal’s Birbhum district last month, should be probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Calcutta High Court ruled on Friday.
The High Court had earlier ordered a CBI investigation into the gruesome Birbhum killings that took place in Bogtui village on March 21.
The court had been requested to order a CBI probe into the murder of Trinamool leader Bhadu Sheikh as well with a petition that said the two incidents were linked.
The judges ordered the transfer of the murder case of Sheikh from the state police to the CBI for a thorough investigation.
