A woman named as Tuku Sarkar was arrested from the spot. Two other suspects named Papai Ghosh and his associate Ashim Sarkar are absconding.
The recovery of arms and ammunition comes against the backdrop of TMC’s election loss and sporadic post-poll violence that has been reported from across the state, as TMC leadership continues to reject the public mandate and instigate their supporters and cadres that somehow, they should not have lost.
BJP’s leader of Legislative Party Suvendu Adhikari took oath today as the 9th chief minister of the state, after BJP’s massive 207-seat win in the assembly elections.
