FIR against CPI(M) leaders after hidden guns found

An FIR has been filed against CPI(M) West Midnapore district Secretary Dipak Sarkar and 11 others today following the seizure of 70 guns buried near a CPI(M) office at Enayatpur village in the district, police sources said.
The FIR was lodged by Anjan Bera, a local leader of the Trinamool Congress, with Kotowali police station and a non-bailable case under the provisions of Arms Act was registered.
Superintendent of Police Sunil Chowdhury admitted that such a complaint was lodged and an investigation was on.
The 12 persons named in the FIR also included Bijay Paul and Satyen Maity, members of CPI(M) district secretariat.

Sarkar, also a state secretariat member of CPI(M), said it was a baseless allegation of the ruling party.
Following a specific information, CRPF personnel dug a portion in the bank of a canal near a CPI(M) party office at Enayatpur and found 70 single barrelled guns yesterday.
Sources in the Trinamool Congress alleged that the CPI(M) was gathering arms to unleash terror during panchayat polls.
