Rampurhat (WB) : The CBI has decided to send samples
of the eight people killed in West Bengal's Birbhum district for DNA tests, an
officer said on Friday. Charred bodies of the eight people were recovered from
Bogtui village in Rampurhat police station area of the district, hours after
the murder of a local TMC leader.
"We are planning to conduct DNA tests on those
killed in the carnage. Can't share much on this as the investigation is in a
crucial stage," the officer told to the news agency. During the day, the
CBI questioned the present inspector-in-charge of the Rampurhat police station
in connection with their investigation, he added.
Later in the night, a CBI team led DIG Akhilesh
Singh conducted a search operation at Bogtui village and spoke to a handful of
locals. The incident, which happened on March 21, sent shockwaves across the
nation with the Calcutta High Court directing the CBI to take over the probe.
