A team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) was attacked in Bhupatinagar, East Midnapore district, West Bengal, while investigating a blast case from December 2022 that resulted in three fatalities. The incident occurred at midnight when the NIA officials arrested two key conspirators, leading to a mob pelting stones and vandalizing the NIA's vehicle, injuring 2 officials. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticized the NIA's actions, suggesting the raids were politically motivated to benefit the BJP in upcoming elections. She questioned the timing of the raids and whether the NIA had police permission. The attack, reminiscent of an earlier attack on ED officials, has sparked a political controversy, with the BJP accusing the West Bengal government of failing to maintain law and order and alleging TMC's involvement in protecting the attackers, terming it 'Sandeshkhali 2.0'. The TMC, on the other hand, has accused the BJP of misusing probe agencies for political gains and plans to meet with the Election Commission. An FIR has been filed against the NIA team, further complicating the situation and raising concerns over the law and order situation in West Bengal.
