Situation in Singur got worse when a charred body of an 18-year-old woman, allegedly raped and then killed, was recovered from the field fenced off for the Tata plant in Singur.
The victim’s body was recovered from the controversial field sparking fresh tension with villagers and Trinamool Congress alleging that the victim was raped and burnt by men guarding the controversial land. Signalling a fresh round of agitation, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, whose hunger strike entered the 15th day Monday, called a 48-hour strike in West Bengal from December 21 and a CBI inquiry into the matter.
