NIA Investigates Beldanga Violence After Migrant Worker's Death

A man named Alauddin Sheikh, who was a migrant worker, died in Beldanga, a place in West Bengal.

After his death, many people became angry and started protesting by blocking roads and train tracks.

The local police first looked into the case and found no signs of murder.

But the national police, called the NIA, took over the case because it was a big deal.

Some political leaders had different opinions about what happened.

One group said it was a planned attack, while another group said it was not spontaneous.

The man's father also said his son did not commit suicide and that there were injuries on his body.

The court also got involved and ordered more police to be sent to the area to keep things calm.
