The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday took over the probe into the killings at Bogtui village in West Bengal’s Birbhum district, hours after a Calcutta High Court directive. “A team comprising senior CBI officials and forensic experts has been dispatched to examine the scene of crime,” said an agency official.
On March 21, eight people were burnt to death in the village after a Trinamool Congress deputy pradhan was murdered.
The High Court directed the CBI to submit a report on its findings by April 7.
