The CBI on Friday said it has arrested two persons, including a minor, in a case relating to murder of a man during post-poll violence in West Bengal.
The agency nabbed Rajendra Sharma and the minor in connection with the killing of Palash Mondal reported on June 14 in Nadia district.
The agency had booked 10 accused and unidentified people for allegedly breaking into the house of Mondal with firearms, dagger, tube well pipes and iron rod.
The CBI had registered the case on August 25 on the orders of Calcutta High Court and took over the investigation of the case, earlier registered at Police Station Kotwali, District Nadia.
“They allegedly ransacked the house of the complainant and dragged out her husband. One of the accused allegedly fired at the head of the complainant’s husband following which he collapsed. The victim was taken to Shaktinagar District Hospital where he was declared dead,” the CBI said in a statement.
A chargesheet in the case was filed by the CBI on September 10 against 15 accused including the said arrested accused.
The arrested persons were produced before the Competent Court. The court remanded Sharma to four days police custody and other (minor) was sent to remand home. Further investigation is continuing in the case.
The agency also filed a chargesheet against three accused persons in a separate case related to violence. Sk Mijanur, Sk Fatenur alias Fate and Sk Emdadul Islam were charge-sheeted by the CBI in a separate case of murder.
This case was registered on August 30 and the CBI took over the investigation of the case, earlier registered at Police Station Nandigram, in Purba Midnapore.
In its chargesheet filed before a Haldia court, the CBI alleged that the accused persons had attacked the complainant’s uncle and seriously wounded him.
“The victim was initially admitted at Nandigram Hospital and later shifted to P G Hospital in Kolkata where the victim died,” the agency said.
