New Delhi: TMC leader Saugata Roy on Friday said they have demanded high-level probe into attack on Mamata Banerjee at Nandigram. He said West Bengal Chief Minister was attacked when there was no police presence there.

“We’ve demanded a high-level probe into attack on Mamata Banerjee at Nandigram. When incident happened, there was no police presence there. The events leading up to the attempt on her life, leave no doubt, that the attack was part of deep rooted conspiracy,” said TMC leader Saugata Roy.

He further said, “We left to it ECI to decide the source of investigation, we didn’t demand any specific investigation but we mentioned in our letter to ECI that there should be an unbiased investigation.”

Earlier on Thursday, a delegation of the Trinamool Congress filed a complaint at the Election Commission office in Kolkata over the alleged attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram and called the incident a “deep-rooted conspiracy to take her life”.

“The ECI unilaterally removing the DGP, the SP, and the District Police (who report to the new DGP) being absent at the time of the brazen attack on Mamata Banerjee. The attack is a deep-rooted conspiracy to take the life of our Chairperson. We call for an immediate investigation into the same,” the complaint said.
