MALDA, Nov. 26: Two Malda Congress leaders have been chargesheeted under section 147, 148, 149, 353, 427 and 3PD PP Act in Malda court in connection with case of ransacking a police outpost in Malda district hospital in September this year. Malda district Congress leaders are upset with the police after getting this information from the court today. The lawyers of the two Congress leaders today suggested them to surrender before court to avoid arrest warrant, which will be issued soon by the court on the basis of the merit of charge sheet submitted by the police. According to the charge sheet, Malda zilla parishad office bearer Mr Soumitra Roy and the youth Congress leader Mr Chhoton Mallick have been accused of rioting with deadly weapons and damaging public properties and preventing government officials from doing their official duty. It may be recalled that on 20 September, Youth Congress workers staged an agitation at the district hospital when a woman Surji Malakar (50) alleged that one policeman of the police outpost attempted to rape her. Youth Congress workers led by Mr Roy reached the hospital in a moment and allegedly ransacked the police outpost apart from blocking the National Highway-34 in demand of arrest of the policeman. The policeman (NVF) was beaten up by an angry mob. He was finally arrested and admitted to the Malda district hospital. Two different cases were initiated on the basis of Surji's complaint and another in connection with ransacking of the police camp. However, in enquiry police reportedly found Surji's complaint ‘baseless’, while, in the other case police found the Youth Congress workers guilty.
