Ritabrata, Firhad & other rebel members occupy TMC's Metropolitan Bhavan
A large stockpile of government relief materials, administrative documents, and promotional pamphlets was uncovered inside a warehouse linked to former MLA Manoj Tiwari in the Shibpur area of Howrah. Local witnesses observed the materials, including government-issued tarpaulins and clothing supplies, being discarded directly from the roof of the storage facility. The discovery immediately drew a massive crowd of local residents and political workers to the site, creating intense logistical and security challenges in the surrounding Baltikuri neighborhood where the former lawmaker's office is situated.
Following the recovery of the unauthorized relief inventory, a large contingent of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters arrived at the venue and staged a vehement demonstration. The protestors raised slogans against the suspected misappropriation of public resources, demanding an immediate accountability check on the individuals running the facility. As political tensions escalated on the ground, local police units rushed to the location to restore order, disperse the agitating crowds, and cordon off the warehouse to prevent any tampering with the recovered evidence.
The Howrah police have officially initiated a comprehensive investigation into the incident to determine the exact origin and destination of the state-funded relief stock. Investigating officers are currently analyzing structural custody trails to identify who authorized the transport and subsequent storage of these emergency supplies inside a non-governmental facility. Senior administrative officials stated that the recovered items have been secured for cataloging, and strict legal action will be pursued against the responsible parties once the ongoing inquiry establishes the baseline facts of the case.
