Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has termed the killings as \u201cgenocide\u201d. Her party has said that all four were Trinamool Congress workers. Earlier in the day, another person was shot dead outside a booth. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said that the person worked for their party.<\/p>\n<p>A special team was formed by the CID to probe into the incident. The team has asked for all the necessary documents from Mathabhanga police station. The officers will visit Sitalkuchi soon, it is learnt. The Calcutta High Court meanwhile, has asked for a report from the CID on May 5.<\/p>\n<p>A public interest litigation was filed in the court on Monday. The appeal sought to bring out the circumstances in which the Central force personnel opened fire, among other things.
