Police said they have not resorted to firing in Samserganj block, claiming that the three people died due to firing by the BSF, which the border force denied. So far, 118 people have been arrested in connection with the violence that broke out in the Muslim-majority district on Friday, according to police. Amid violent protests, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said the Act will not be implemented in the state. "Remember, we did not make the law over which many are agitated. The law was made by the central government. So the answer you want should be sought from the central government," Banerjee said on X.
