NCPI MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar writes to West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari seeking fresh probe into 1993 Kolkata firing case

MP Dr Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, who recently joined the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) from Trinamool Congress (TMC) has written to West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari seeking a fresh investigation into the July 21, 1993 police firing on Youth Congress workers in Kolkata, alleging that successive governments failed to prosecute those responsible and demanding publication of the inquiry commission's report.

In her letter dated July 2, Dastidar sought a forensic reinvestigation into the incident, including custodial interrogation of police officers, bureaucrats and political leaders allegedly responsible for the firing, in which 13 Youth Congress workers were killed during a protest at Esplanade.
