SC refuses CBI-probe into two BJP workers' deaths in WB
The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a plea seeking a CBI probe into the recent killing of two BJP workers in Purulia district of West Bengal after panchayat polls. A vacation bench of Justices AK Goel and Ashok Bhushan asked the petitioners to approach the Calcutta High Court instead. Advocate Gaurav Bhatia, appearing for petitioners, said that it is a serious matter.
Deaths of both BJP worker's held in a similar manner
On May 30, 18-year-old Tirlochan Mahato, a BJP worker from Balrampur village of Purulia district, was found hanging from a tree with a poster written in Bengali struck on his back, saying he was killed for canvassing for BJP during panchayat-election. BJP worker Dulal Kumar's death had taken place on June 2 in a similar manner. The petition was filed by Kumar's father.
