CID probe ordered into Khejuri ‘graves’

Special Correspondent

KOLKATA: The West Bengal government has directed the CID to investigate the events leading to the discovery of human bones at Khejuri, near Nandigram.

DNA tests would be conducted to ascertain the identities, Home Secretary Prasad Ranjan Ray said on Friday.

The bones, found under five mounds of earth on Thursday, would be sent to the Central Forensic Laboratory for examination, Mr. Ray said, after a meeting with Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.

The mounds were dug up in the presence of officials of the CBI and the Central Reserve Police Force and under the supervision of a judicial magistrate following allegations that charred bodies of victims of the recent violence in Nandigram were buried in Khejuri.

Local leaders of both the CPI(M) and the Trinamool Congress claimed that bodies of their workers were buried in these “graves.”

Secretary of the State committee of the party Biman Bose said any talk on the issue was “meaningless” till the findings of the DNA tests were available.
