Sitalkuchi Firing By CISF Guards: Mamata Banerjee Calls It Genocide, PM Modi Blames The TMC Leader | WB Polls 2021

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has labelled the killing of four people in central force firing at Cooch Behar "a genocide". She said the victims were "sprayed with bullets in the chest and neck". She said, “The CISF is not trained for mob control. Now they want to suppress facts. That's why they banned entry into Cooch Behar for 72 hours”.  On April 10, around 10.30 am, the CISF on duty at booth number 126 at Jorpatki in Sitalkuchi constituency had opened fire in which four people died and at least another person received a bullet injury. Special Police Observer appointed by the Election Commission, Vivek Dube, sent a report saying the CISF had to fire in self-defence when villagers tried to snatch their weapons. Prime Minister Narendra Modi condoled the deaths but also slammed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her party. Watch the video to know more.
