New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday came down heavily on the West Bengal administration for their alleged inaction over the “deplorable” gherao and attack on seven judicial officers in Malda district during the SIR drive and ordered an independent probe by the CBI or NIA.
In a scathing indictment of the state administration, the top court said the incident “also exposes complete failure of the state administration” and observed that West Bengal is the “most polarised state”.
