DURGAPUR, Feb. 18: CPI-M cadres who were denied jobs in local factories ransacked a party office, beat up leaders and later locked them up in a shop in the Sagarbhanga area today.

The district party leadership has called for an internal probe after pornographic CDs, condoms and liquor bottles were seized from the CPI-M office.

According to reports, a large number of youths, mostly activists and supporters of the CPI-M, assembled in front of the local committee office in the Namo Sagarbhanga area around 8.30 a.m. today. They urged CPI-M leaders, sitting inside the office, to facilitate their absorption in a private iron and steel unit. When leaders ~ Mr Badal Ghosh, Mr Naren Ghosh, Mr Nemai Bauri and Mr Gour Bauri ~ reportedly told them that the party office was not an employment exchange and they were helpless to sort out their crisis, the enraged youths dragged the leaders out of the office and beat them up. Two of them, Mr Gour Bauri and Mr Nemai Bauri, however, managed to escape.

The youths later locked up the other two leaders inside a grocery shop for more than two hours. Meanwhile, a mob raided the CPI-M office and found 12 empty foreign liquor bottles, several packets of condoms and pornographic CDs. Mr Badal Ghosh and Mr Naren Ghosh were later rescued by police.

The district party leadership, however, will conduct an independent inquiry into the incident.
