Kolkata/East Midnapore, Mar 2 (IBNS): The Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) of Egra in West Bengal's East Midnapore district, who allegedly fired bullets aiming at protesting villagers on Wednesday early morning, has been transferred to the post of DSP of Counter Insurgency Force (CIF), reports said.
SDPO of Egra, Manoranjan Ghosh allegedly fired as many as five round bullets aiming at villagers, who were agitating in front of his bungalow over a local problem. Two villagers- Tapan Sahu and Ganesh Samanta- were shot and are being treated in a local hospital.
 
However, ADG (Law and Order) Anuj Sharma have ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
 
East Midnapore SP Alok Rajoria told IBNS, "Few villagers were protesting over a local-puja issue in front of SDPO's bungalow in the morning. They vandalized the compound and broke many windows. Villagers alleged that SDPO fired bullets aiming at them and two are sustaining bullet injuries."
 
"SDPO Manoranjan Ghosh claimed that he shot bullets for self-defence. We have started probe into the matter to know what exactly happened there and in which situation, bullets were fired," Rajoria added.
 
An administrative meeting regarding this incident was held in SDPO's bungalow in the noon.
 
After this transfer, Tanmoy Sarkar was appointed as the new SDPO of Egra.
