“Mamata Banerjee is fully responsible for this incident. I demand to arrest Mamata Banerjee and declare Trinamool Congress as a terrorist organisation,” he added.
The recovery operation, conducted by the CBI on Friday in Sandeshkhali, uncovered a range of weaponry, including foreign-made pistols, and revolvers, linked to the January attack on an Enforcement Directorate (ED) team. The incident was provoked by now-suspended TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh.
Among the items seized during the searches were three foreign-made revolvers, one foreign-made pistol, and a huge amount of ammunition. Additionally, several incriminating documents pertaining to the former TMC leader were also recovered.
The operation was conducted by the teams of CBI, bomb squad, National Security Guards (NSG), central paramilitary forces, and West Bengal Police.
