Days after a National Investigation Agency (NIA) team faced stiff resistance during a raid in West Bengal, the Calcutta High Court today pulled up the state police over an FIR it filed against an officer of the central probe agency.
An NIA team was at Bhupatinagar in Bengal's Purba Medinipur district on Saturday during a raid in connection with a 2022 blast when it faced resistance from local residents. The blast in question had left three people dead.
Following the face-off, a woman filed a complaint with the state police, accusing the NIA team of breaking into her house and assaulting her husband. She also alleged that the NIA officials and the CRPF personnel with them had verbally abused her and assaulted her when she tried to defend him.
