Kolkata, Jan 5 (Reporter) Two Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials were injured, one of them sustaining head injury, after they were attacked by a mob during a raid at a Trinamool Congress leader's residence in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali in connection with the alleged ration distribution scam. The ED officials were forced to retreat fearing for their lives, official sources said. The attackers are said to be the followers of TMC leader Sahjahan Sheikh. The mob attacked the ED officials, who were aided by the central forces, when they tried to break open the collapsible gates, which were locked from inside. The officials, finding their vehicles were vandalised, fled from the locality in North 24 Parganas district on auto rickshaw and steamer. Sahjahan, who was an executive in the state fisheries and animal husbandry department in the locality, is considered to be a close associate of arrested minister Jyotipriyo Mallick. Currently the forest Minister, Mallick earlier held the food portfolio for ten years, andhas been arrested in connection with the alleged multi-crore rupee ration distribution scam. Some members of the media covering the raid were also attacked by the mob. The attackers vandalised the gadgets and vehicles of the mediapersons, sources said. Meanwhile, two teams of ED officials also raided the properties of the former Bongaon municipality chairman Shankar Addya. "Horrific. The law and order situation in West Bengal is in shambles. ED officials and CRPF jawans brutally attacked in Sandeshkhali, North 24-Parganas while conducting raid at TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan's house. I doubt that Rohingyas are present amongst the anti-national attackers," Suvendu Adhikari, leader of Opposition in the Bengal Assembly, wrote on X (Formerly Twitter). "I urge Hon'ble Union Home minister Amit Shah, Bengal Governor, Director ED and Director CRPF to take cognizance of this grave situation and take appropriate action to crush this anarchy." Adhikari demanded a probe by the NIA. "It was an orchestrated attack," said the BJP's state chief Sukanta Majumdar. "There is a complaint & corruption charges against all of them. It is natural that ED will take action. It is quite obvious. The attack on ED in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali shows what the Rohingya are doing to the law & order in the state," the BJP leader said...////...
