NDTV
A Bengal BJP leader has dared Trinamool's Kunal Ghosh to prove his allegations or face a defamation case
The arrest of two Trinamool Congress leaders by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a 2022 blast case has sparked a heated exchange between the Mamata Banerjee-led party and the BJP. While the Trinamool has alleged an "alliance" between the BJP and the NIA, the main opposition in Bengal has dared the ruling party to prove its allegations. Experience the unfolding ALLIANCE BETWEEN the @NIA_India and @BJP4Bengal , ORCHESTRATING CONSPIRACIES AGAINST TRINAMOOL leaders amid the Model Code of Conduct. While this collusion persists, the ECI stands by, conspicuously silent, neglecting its duty to ensure fair play.👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 https://t.co/ROKRSVgGXG
The NIA on Saturday arrested two people in Purba Medinipur district's Bhupatinagar in connection with a blast in 2022 that killed three people. The central agency team faced stiff resistance from a crowd when they arrested Balai Charan Maity and Manobrata Jana after searches at five locations, the NIA said. An NIA team member suffered minor injuries in the face-off and a vehicle was damaged, the agency added.
"Manobrata Jana, and the other arrested accused, identified as Balai Charan Marty, were found to have conspired to manufacture and explode crude bombs to spread terror," the NIA statement said.
