The TMC, protesting over the death of 24-year-old Prem Kumar Barman in Dinhata block, sought immediate action against those involved.
A day-long sit-in was organised by the Trinamool Congress on Sunday near the residence of Union Minister of State for Home Nisith Pramanik at Bhetaguri in Cooch Behar district, seeking justice for an "innocent Rajbanshi youth who was branded as cattle smuggler and shot dead by the BSF".
According to local officials, Section 144 of CrPC has been imposed over a 150 metre-radius around the minister's residence, with heavy security arrangements made in the area to prevent any untoward situation.
The TMC, protesting over the death of 24-year-old Prem Kumar Barman in Dinhata block, sought immediate action against those involved. The agitators raised slogans against the BJP-led Centre, the BSF, and Mr Pramanik.
Central forces were seen guarding the perimeter of Mr Pramanik's house during the day. Additionally, bamboo barricades have been put up to prevent anyone from breaching the prohibitory orders.
