The recovery of arms and ammunition in multiple locations in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali on April 26 sparked a verbal duel between the Trinamool Congress and the BJP, with the ruling party alleging that the saffron camp was orchestrating a plot to discredit the State during the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.
The BJP was quick to hit back, accusing the TMC of shielding terrorists and having a tacit understanding with anti-national elements.
The CBI seized arms and ammunition, including foreign-made firearms, during search operations at multiple locations in Sandeshkhali in connection with the January attack on an Enforcement Directorate team by a mob allegedly instigated by now-suspended TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh, officials said.
