The West Bengal government on Thursday submitted a preliminary report on the Birbhum violence in the Calcutta High Court.
The court reserved its order on whether to have a CBI probe into the violence that claimed eight lives, following the murder of a Trinamool leader on Tuesday.
The demand for a CBI probe was raised by Opposition parties and the kin of those burnt to death. So far, 22 persons have been arrested in connection with the murder of a deputy pradhan at Bogtui village and the subsequent violence.
