The SIT was to be formed to look into the cases of post poll violence other than cases of murder and sexual assault assigned to the CBI for investigation.
This comes shortly after the CBI made the first two arrests on August 28 of Biju and Aasima Ghosh, charged with the murder of BJP worker Dharma Mondal and two others in West Bengal’s Nadia district.
The High Court has directed that a Special Investigation Team, under the monitoring of the Court, should investigate the criminal cases related to post-poll violence.
