Kolkata: Calcutta High Court will monitor probe into the political killings in Burdwan, in which two CPI(M) leaders were allegedly murdered by Trinamool Congress supporters.
Earlier on Friday, the court criticised the Mamata Banerjee government on delays in the probe into the Burdwan killings of last month.
Chief justice Jay Narayan Patel slammed the government counsel for blaming 34 years of Left rule and 'consequent inefficiencies in the system' for not providing the postmortem report.
The Chief justice categorically said that the government can no longer blame the system and keep abdicating their responsibilities.
The government has now submitted the post mortem report after the court order.
One of the CPI(M) leader was former MLA Pradip Tah while the other was CPI(M) district committee member Kamal Gayen. The duo was allegedly hacked to death by suspected Trinamool workers in Burdwan town during a procession to drum up support for the countrywide February 28 industrial strike call.
The attackers armed with spears, rods and lathis attacked Tah and Gayen at Dewandighi area in the town, Burdwan Superintendent of Police SAM Mirza said.
Gayen was rushed to the Burdwan Medical College and Hospital and Gayen to a Kolkata hospital, where both died of their injuries, Mirza said.
Police sources said four Trinamool Congress supporters from Mirzapur area Choton Chakraborty, Patitpaban Tah, Suji Tah and Gopal Goswami have been arrested.
