The Supreme Court, while hearing a plea seeking a CBI probe into the alleged killings of BJP workers in West Bengal, on Tuesday said "much is happening in West Bengal".
The top court's observation came after petitioner Gaurav Bhatia, a lawyer, told a bench of justices A K Sikri, S A Nazeer and M R Shah that three workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were killed in West Bengal last year and the police had filed a closure report in one of the cases, stating that it was a suicide.
"Much is happening in West Bengal also", the bench observed.
Appearing for the West Bengal government, senior advocate Kapil Sibal replied, "Much is happening in the CBI also.... And all of this (Bhatia's petition) is indeed politics."
