According to the information, a woman has complained to the East Medinipur police that she and her husband were beaten up by the NIA team and her honor was also hurt. A case has been registered against the NIA team and CRPF jawans in Bhupatinagar police station. The NIA had arrested an accused from Bhupatinagar when he was attacked. In this matter, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee had in a way taken the side of the people of Bhupatinagar. He had raised the question as to why the NIA team had gone to the spot at night. Mamta Banerjee had also said that the NIA team had not even informed the local police about the raid.
Politics is heated in West Bengal in view of the attack on the NIA team in East Medinipur. BJP has alleged that goons associated with Mamata Banerjee’s party TMC attacked the NIA. At the same time, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary had also cornered the Mamata government over the attack on the NIA team. Let us tell you that in January, the ED team was also attacked by hundreds of people in Sandeshkhali of Basirhat district of West Bengal. Many ED officers were seriously injured in that attack. Former TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh has been arrested in connection with that attack.
