Police asked to find Ausgram attackers

The West Bengal government today asked police to find out those behind the attack on the Ausgram police station in Burdwan district in which several personnel were injured and government property was damaged.
The local police and the administration have also been asked to deal with the situation firmly, according to the officials at the state secretariat Nabanna.
Soon after the incident, a high-level meeting was held at the state secretariat to review the situation in which State Home Secretary Moloy De, DGP Surojit Kar Purokayastha and ADG (Law and Order) Anuj Sharma were present.
Earlier, a mob attacked the Ausgram police station with sticks and threw brickbats, causing injury to police personnel, and set its waiting room on fire.

The incident took place just a day after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, while speaking at the police investiture ceremony, had urged a section of the people not to take law in their own hands.
Yesterday, a mob had attacked the police and blocked the arterial Ausgram-Guskara Road protesting the detention of three school teachers and had alleged that they were manhandled at Guskara in Burdwan district.
Burdwan SP Kunal Agarwal, however, denied any link between today's incident and that of yesterday's as the matter was peacefully settled.
Several persons were detained and being questioned in connection with the incident.
