BJP Accuses Mamata Banerjee Of Violating Covid Norms During Campaigning

New Delhi, Sep 15: The CBI has summoned West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's election agent Sheik Sufian on Thursday in connection with a murder case allegedly related to post poll violence in Nandigram from where the TMC supremo had unsuccessfully contested, officials said.

The case pertains to fatal attack on Debabrata Maity by unidentified people in Nandigram on May 3. Maity succumbed to injuries 10 days later while undergoing treatment, they said.

Nandigram had seen a high-pitched electoral battle between Banerjee and her confidante turned-rival Shuvendu Adhikari which was narrowly clinched by the latter. Sufian, a TMC leader, was also a complainant in connection with alleged attack on Banerjee during poll campaign.
