Heavy weapons seized in Sandeshkhali: BJP demands to declare TMC as a terrorist organization

In a huge setback to TMC in West Bengal, CBI investigation has intensified at the house of Abu Talib, close to Sandeshkhali case accused Shahjahan Sheikh.

Abu Talib is said to be a rickshaw puller by profession. Let us tell you that there is presence of NSG commandos at every nook and corner in Sandeshkhali area of ​​West Bengal.

A foreign pistol was recovered during a search operation in Mallikpada area of ​​Sandeshkhali. Apart from this, huge quantity of weapons and bombs were also found. The recovered weapons are suspected to be smuggled from abroad. Many suspicious people are on the radar of CBI.

Bharatiya Janata Party leader Suvendu Adhikari on April 27 demanded that the Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, be declared a terrorist organisation.

The demand comes a day after Central Bureau of Investigation said that it has recovered arms and ammunition during a raid at two premises of an alleged associate of Sandeshkhali accused Shahjahan Sheikh.

“All the weapons found in Sandeshkhali are foreign. Explosives like RDX are used in horrific anti-national activities. All these weapons are used by international terrorists,” Adhikari, leader of opposition in West Bengal Assembly told news agency ANI.

The TMC has filed a complaint with Election Commission of India against the CBI over Friday's raid. In the complaint, the TMC accused the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the centre of conspiring with CBI and National Security Guard (NSG).

The recovery included three foreign-made revolvers, one foreign-made pistol, and a significant amount of ammunition. Several documents related to now-suspended TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh were also seized during the operation, which was supported by NSG (National Security Guard), central paramilitary forces, and West Bengal Police.
