Overview

  • On July 7, NCW member Archana Majumdar visited Kaliganj to formally record the Khatoon family’s testimony about the June 23 blast.
  • Sabina Khatoon accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s administration of obstructing the probe and vowed a hunger strike till the remaining suspects are held accountable.
  • Although the FIR names 24 individuals, only nine have been arrested so far, prompting allegations of political interference in the investigation.
  • Police officials contend the 10-year-old may have died from stray bomb splinters during a local clash rather than a targeted rally attack.
  • The NCW plans to meet Krishnanagar’s Superintendent of Police for progress updates while the family pursues legal recourse at the Calcutta High Court for a time-bound, impartial inquiry.
