A shocking incident took place in West Bengal’s Birbhum district, where around eight people were burnt to death after the killing of Trinamool Congress leader Bhadu Sheikh, who was earlier the Panchayat leader from the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As this heart-wrenching news came to light, political leaders started reacting to it. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote to the Governor that it pains her that he chose an unfortunate incident which occurred in Rampurhat on 21.03.2022 that resulted in the loss of precious lives, to pass sweeping and uncalled for comments on the law-and-order situation in the state. The state government is saddened at the loss of lives and has taken immediate steps not only to take action against the local police officers posted in the sub-division but has also formed an SIT to investigate the cause of the incident. 10 persons have so far been arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
