Tapan Ghosh said, “We called the nearby police station immediately after being attacked. The police took one hour to arrive. We were attacked in front of the police. Later, a few more officers arrived and rescued us from the attack. The police admitted us to hospital.”
The victims have blamed the Trinamool Congress for the incident. In this context, Trinamool district president Ajit Maiti said, “Tapan Ghosh and party leader Divakar Bhuiyan went to hold a secret meeting of the party even on the day of lockdown. Watching them, public outrage erupted. In that area, 18 people were killed by the CPI(M). No dead body was traced in Chhota Angaria. CPI(M) leaders have become victims of public anger. Trinamool has no connection to the incident. Police have started an investigation.”
