KOLKATA: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday approached the Calcutta High Court seeking its intervention in directing the West Bengal Police to submit the case diary of last month's violence at Beldanga in minority-dominated Murshidabad district to the central agency officials probing the matter.
In its petition, the NIA counsel had argued that the state police was refusing to hand over the case diary in the matter despite the Supreme Court’s Division Bench of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi last month, refusing to entertain the plea of the state government opposing the NIA probe in the matter.
The Calcutta High Court had admitted the petition, and the matter is likely to come up for hearing on February 24.
