Bengal cop suspended, TMC leaders arrested after Mamata Banerjee’s warning

Hindustan Times  

KOLKATA: A police inspector was suspended and two local Trinamool Congress leaders arrested in separate cases in Bengal’s West Burdwan district on Thursday evening hours after chief minister Mamata Banerjee ordered a crackdown on criminal elements. Opposition leaders alleged that Mamata Banerjee’s focus on corruption in the police force and the arrest of the two TMC leaders in Durgapur was an effort to divert public attention from more raging issues. If Mamata Banerjee wants then I can provide evidence of much bigger nexus between police and crime syndicates,” BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari, the leader of the opposition in the state legislative assembly, said. I am quite sure TMC leaders are involved in the diversion of state funds sent to bank accounts of high school students for buying smartphones or tablets.” Police investigation into the school fund scam has led to around two dozen arrests across several districts since last month.
