The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has so far registered nine cases pertaining to the post-poll violence in West Bengal, earlier this month. “The four special investigation teams constituted for probing the cases are in West Bengal. Statements of the victims are being recorded. Based on the information provided by the State police, more cases are expected to be registered in due course,” said a CBI official. The agency had earlier written to the West Bengal Director-General of Police seeking details of the cases of alleged murder and sexual abuse of women, in compliance with the High Court order for probe into such cases in connection with the alleged violence following the State Assembly election earlier this year.More Related News
