PM Modi Jalpaiduri rally | Central agencies attacked in Bengal as TMC wants to protect corrupt leaders, says Modi

Wife of arrested TMC leader Monobrata Jana has filed an FIR against NIA officials alleging that they tried to outrage her modesty after forcibly entering her residence in Bhupatinagar in the pretext of conducting a probe, a police officer said on April 7.

The NIA on April 6 arrested two key conspirators — Balai Charan Maity and Manobrata Jana — in a 2022 blast case in West Bengal’s Purba Medinpur district in which three persons were killed. Jana’s wife Moni Jana lodged her complaint with Bhupatinagar police station alleging that NIA officers also vandalised properties in her residence during their search, he said.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on April 7 alleged the Central investigating agencies were asking TMC leaders to either join the BJP or face action. Addressing an election rally in Purulia district, she alleged agencies such as the ED, CBI, NIA and the I-T Department were working as “arms” of the BJP.
