WB Police: Kolkata: Diamond Harbour's firing: ममता दी की पुलिस का हिदायत, जरा संभलकर करे काम..

KOLKATA: Following the police firing and death of two persons at Diamond Harbour's Mainak-Nainan on Thursday, chief minister Mamata Banerjee expressed her anger at not being informed on time and the manner in which it was handled. Sensing the CM's mood, DGP Naparajit Mukherjee asked IGP (South Bengal) to rush to the spot and report back. Local sources claimed that at least two 14-year-olds, Rezina Khatun and Swapan Maira, were hit by bullets. Rezina was hit on the head and died instantly. Swapan was hit in his stomach was being shifted to Kolkata. Rezina's body was lying in the village with angry villagers ringing it.

Another villager, Sahiba Biwi (32), was also brought dead to the Diamond Harbour hospital with a gaping wound on her head. Among the injured was the Diamond Harbour SDPO. The CM reacted strongly to allegations that the two villagers were killed in police firing. Terming the incident "unfortunate and shameful", she said the policemen should have been more careful. "I was in Writers the entire day but wasn't aware of it. There are other ways to handle such situation," she said, instructing that police should not aggravate tensions further and instead try to pacify the villagers. "The incident of police firing will be probed in detail. There are certain norms to be followed. But I do not believe all villagers had attacked police. Some of them surely were provoked. Some political leaders had instigated them. Let the investigation be complete and everything will come out," she said.
