On 21 March, nine persons were killed in a gruesome carnage at Bogtui village in Rampurhat of Birbhum district. Hours before the carnage, Trinamul Congress panchayat pradhan, Bhadu Sheikh was killed.

CBI sources said the officials are trying to trace the “higher-level political and administrative links” of the accused as well as the victims. This is the fifth arrest by the CBI in this case.

According to the CBI sources, preliminary findings through questioning of various persons including the arrested ones hint towards multiple angles of the causes behind the massacre in which the victims as well as accused were close associates of the Trinamul Congress.

One angle is the rivalry over control and share of the illegal sand mining business, a menace that is rampant in different pockets of Birbhum district where Bogtui is located. The second angle is that the victims and accused had affiliations to two top district-level top leaders of Birbhum district, whose cold war on various issues is a much talked about affair in the entire district for a long time.

The CBI sleuths feel that these two angles had made the grassroots level rivalry even bitterer that ultimately led to the gruesome massacre.
