New Delhi: Amidst widespread outrage over the killing of 14 people in West Bengal's Nandigram, the CBI on Sunday assured that its investigation was headed the right way.
"Our investigations are satisfactory till now, we are still carrying on with our work, let's see how it progresses," PTI quoted a member of the CBI team as saying.
In what came as a major breakthrough, the agency arrested 10 suspects and seized a stockpile of arms from a brick kiln at Khejuri village in Nandigram block on Saturday.
The investigating team, accompanied by forensic experts, dug up the ground at Gokulnagar following claims by villagers that bodies and arms were buried there.
Gokulnagar is located close to Sonachura, where most of the casualties occurred during the police action on March 14. The team later went to Tamluk Hospital and spoke to a number of persons injured on Wednesday.
The CBI team inquired from them about the circumstances under which they were wounded and that what they were doing then. The people were also asked who, according to them, caused their injuries.
East Mindapore Superintendent of Police G A Srinivas told PTI that all of the 10 held by the CBI were later formally arrested.
While the SP declined to specify the political affiliation of those arrested, locals alleged that all of them belonged to the CPI(M).
