A 40-member team from National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrived in West Bengal’s Malda district to investigate the siege of seven judicial officials at the Kaliachak-II block development office earlier this week. Authorities said the investigation will also examine a subsequent attack on the officials as central forces attempted to rescue them. Police earlier arrested two persons for allegedly inciting a mob that surrounded BDO office. Protesters were demanding inclusion of names in the voter list and confined the officials inside the building for more than nine hours without food or water.
