Top court to hear case from June 7The Supreme Court on Tuesday decided to examine a petition accusing the West Bengal government and Director General of Police of complicity with goons who had spread “terror and fear” following the Assembly election. Gavai scheduled the petition filed by five residents of West Bengal for hearing in the week commencing on June 7. Exodus of peopleThe petition said the last few days, following the elections results, had seen an exodus from West Bengal. “People are internally displaced and are forced to stay in shelter homes/camps in and outside West Bengal. The exodus of the people in West Bengal due to State-sponsored violence has posed serious humanitarian issues,” the petition said.
