THE CBI officers had to make an unscheduled rush to Bhangar in West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district on Tuesday following information that some crucial documents related to any of the scams were there.

On reaching there, the CBI officials found the documents burning in an open space at the Andul- Garia area in Bhangar. The Central Armed Forces escorting the CBI officials immediately surrounded the area and the CBI officers quickly started the process of recovering the documents by extinguishing fire.

On questioning the local people, the CBI sleuths came to know that the documents were brought and dumped in the open space late on Monday night. The local people did not have any doubt at that point of time. However, on Tuesday afternoon they became curious as they saw the documents had been set on fire. Sources said that while the CBI sleuths are sure that the papers were certain Government documents, the contents of the documents are to be ascertained.
