STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

This action follows Law Minister Moloy Ghatak's directive to the West Burdwan District Magistrate to take stern action against land mafias.

On 1 December, a group of 50 to 60 armed individuals, allegedly belonging to land mafias, forcefully entered a plot and assaulted local security personnel and others present. The entire incident was captured on CCTV footage, which subsequently went viral. This triggered a massive public agitation, forcing the local MLA to visit Hill View and hold a meeting with the residents.
