West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee paid homage to the nine people killed in the 2011 Netai village firing. The incident involved armed vigilantes, allegedly sheltered by the then-ruling CPI(M), opening fire on villagers resisting their demands. The event, which killed four women and five men, became a significant political issue and was investigated by the CBI. The CM honored the victims, referred to as martyrs, on the anniversary of the tragedy.
