West Bengal Governor Summons Home Secretary And DGP To Discuss Attack On ED Team

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose called the attack on an ED team in the North 24 Parganas district ghastly. The Governor summoned the Home Secretary and the Director General of Police (DGP) in connection with this incident.

Bose further said that it is the duty of a civilized government to stop barbarism and vandalism in a democracy. “It is a ghastly incident. It is alarming and deplorable. It is the duty of a civilized government to stop barbarism and vandalism in a democracy.

When a government fails in its basic duties, then the Constitution will take its due course. I reserve all my constitutional options for appropriate action. This pre-election violence should end as soon as possible, and this is the beginning of that end,” he said.

An Enforcement Directorate (ED) team was attacked and its vehicles damaged in Sandeshkhali village of North 24 Parganas in West Bengal on Thursday night. This happened when the team tried to raid the residence of block-level leaders of the ruling TMC in connection with an alleged ration scam case.

The ED was conducting raids at the residence of former Bongaon Municipality Chairman Shankar Adhya and TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan’s house in connection with the alleged scam.
