A CBI team on Tuesday visited Sandeshkhali in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district and spoke to complainants and checked their documents in connection with its investigation into alleged land grabbing in the area, an official said.

Accompanied by Central forces, CBI officers spoke to those who have alleged land-grabbing by now-suspended TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh and his associates, he said.

“Our teams have been visiting Sandeshkhali and speaking to the villagers. Today, our officers spoke to villagers who had lodged complaints regarding land-grabbing and also checked their documents,” the CBI officer said.

Earlier this month, the Calcutta High Court had ordered a CBI investigation into allegations of crimes against women and land grabbing in Sandeshkhali.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
