CBI seizes arms and ammunition in Sandeshkhali

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday seized a cache of arms and ammunition during its searches on two premises in West Bengal’s Sandeshkhali in the case related to the attack on Enforcement Directorate officials on January 5.

Among the seized articles are three revolvers and one pistol of foreign make, a revolver and one Colt official police revolver, one country-made pistol, 120 9-mm bullets, 50 cartridges of .45 calibre, 120 cartridges of 9-mm calibre, 50 .380 cartridges and eight .32 cartridges.

In March, the CBI had registered the case following a directive from the Calcutta High Court to probe the attack on the ED officials during their searches of the residential and official premises of now-suspended Trinamool Congress leader Sheikh Shahjahan.
