Birbhum violence: 2 children among 8 charred to death, MHA seeks report from Bengal govt | 10 points

The Union Home Ministry on Tuesday sought a report from the West Bengal government after eight people were found burnt to death in Birbhum district, officials said. The move came after a nine-member delegation of BJP MPs from West Bengal met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and sought his intervention and action against the perpetrators of the crime. Sources said a fact-finding central team may be sent to the state soon to assess the situation, but there was no official confirmation about it yet. In a communication, the ministry asked the West Bengal government to maintain law and order and ensure security of common people in view of the killings, officials said. The state government has been asked to send a detailed factual report on the killings as early as possible, they said. National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has requested SP Birbhum, West Bengal to conduct an investigation in the Birbhum incident and submit a report within 3 days.
