Bogtui Massacre Case Transferred to East Burdwan
A very sad event happened in a place called Bogtui in West Bengal, India.
On March 21, 2022, a man named Bhadu Sheikh was killed, and later that night, 10 other people died in a fire.
The police investigated and found that some people might have been threatened to not tell the truth.
So, the court decided to move the case to a different place called East Burdwan to make sure everything is fair.
The police have already accused 24 people, including a local leader, of being involved in the incident.
The Bogtui massacre case has been transferred from Birbhum to East Burdwan district following a Calcutta High Court order.
The CBI requested the transfer citing concerns of witness intimidation in Birbhum.
The incident on March 21, 2022, resulted in the deaths of Bhadu Sheikh and 10 villagers.
The CBI has filed a charge sheet against Anarul Hussain, the TMC president of Rampurhat Block I, and 23 others.
The District Judge of East Burdwan will now decide which court will hear the proceedings.
