Mumbai/Kolkata/IBNS: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday arrested four accused from Mumbai in an ongoing investigation of a case related to a brutal incident at Rampurhat in Birbhum district of West Bengal.

The arrested accused were produced on Friday before the jurisdictional court and were granted transit remand till Apr 10.

What's the incident?

Deputy chief of the ruling TMC-ruled Barshal village panchayat, Bhadu Sheikh, was killed after five unidentified miscreants had hurled crude bombs at him at Bogtui village in Birbhum's Rampurhat on Monday night.

After the TMC leader's death was confirmed by a local hospital, tension erupted at Bogtui village and multiple houses in the area were allegedly ransacked and set on fire.

The arson had killed eight people.
