West Bengal CM Tables 1993 Police Firing Report, Criticizes TMC's Handling
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari tabled the Justice Sushanta Chattopadhyay Commission report on the 1993 police firing that killed 13 Youth Congress workers. The report found the police firing unjustified and highlighted the absence of former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's testimony. Adhikari accused the previous Trinamool Congress government of suppressing the report, not implementing compensation recommendations, and exploiting the incident politically. Families of victims may file fresh FIRs with government support, while some demand legal action against Mamata Banerjee.
