SDPO David D has confirmed the attack. He told that the police have seized the pamphlet found from the spot. CDPO and Superintendent of Police are investigating the matter. The accused will soon be in police custody.
There is an atmosphere of fear in the area after the incident. Let us tell you that the area of Bano block has always been a soft target for PLFI militants. PLFI supremo Dinesh Gope was arrested by the police from Nepal about three months ago. He is in jail, but violent incidents are still being carried out in the name of his organization.
