The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has withdrawn 20 petitions filed in the Supreme Court regarding the post-poll violence in West Bengal.
The CBI's decision comes after a review of the cases and the ongoing legal proceedings. The agency had initially filed the petitions seeking further investigation into the alleged violence that erupted following the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections. The withdrawal of the petitions suggests a potential shift in the CBI's strategy regarding the post-poll violence cases.
