Kolkata, April 9 (UNI) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday sought the Calcutta High Court's intervention in quashing an FIR filed by the West Bengal Police against the anti-terror agency related to raid and search on April 6 into a 2022 bomb blast case at Bhupatinagar of East Medinipur that killed three people, court sources said.
The NIA told the court that its officers were attacked by an irate mob while returning after arresting two accused, who were key suspects in the case.
The NIA alleged that the State Police had registered FIRs for 'molestation' against the agency's officers, who were attacked at the behest of the family members and supporters of the accused.
