Meanwhile, The Superintendent of police of the district and Inspector General of Police (South Bengal) have been transferred, while a 3-member team of BJP MPs was prevented from visiting Basirhat due to apprehension of trouble.
Internet services remained suspended to check spread of rumours which could aggravate the situation.
