Cooch Behar Violence: Mamata demands Amit Shah's resignation

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sought Union Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation over firing by central forces at Sitalkuchi in Cooch Behar, which resulted in killing of four people.

While speaking at a public meeting at Baduria in North 24 Parganas, she would be leaving for Cooch Behar after attending rallies, and also would also go at the spot where CISF has opened fire during polls.

"Shah should resign owing responsibility for the incident which is dastardly, cold-blooded and unprecedented," the Trinamool Congress supremo said.

She also added that she would hold a protest in Cooch Behar tomorrow and order CID probe.

Four people were killed as central forces opened fire allegedly after coming under attack from locals, who "attempted to snatch their rifles", police said.

"However, I would ask everyone to remain calm and cast their vote peacefully. Avenge the deaths by defeating them," Mamata asserted.

The eight round result of West Bengal will be declared on April 2.
