CBI submits report on Nandigram incidents

Special Correspondent

KOLKATA: The CBI on Friday submitted to the Calcutta High Court a report on the incidents which led to the March 14 police firing at Nandigram in which eight persons were killed. Six others died in subsequent violence.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice S. S. Nijjar and Justice P C Ghose will go through the report and decide on a date for hearing.

The Bench on November 16, 2007 directed the CBI to complete its investigations and submit its final report within a month. The agency on December 17, 2007 presented a status report on its findings and sought further time to submit its final report. The court gave it two months’ time. The High Court earlier directed the State government to provide compensation to the next of kin of those killed in the police firing which, it ruled, was “unconstitutional."

The Supreme Court, by an interim order on December 13, 2007, restrained the CBI from initiating criminal proceedings in any court against the police personnel for the March 14 firing.
