The Chief Minister also questioned the BSF and said that if there was no firing, then the violence would not have erupted the next day.

Bengal Governor sent report to Ministry of Home Affairs
West Bengal Governor CV Anand Bose submitted a report to the Ministry of Home Affairs on the Murshidabad riots on Sunday. In this, fundamentalism and extremism were described as a major threat to West Bengal.
The governor said that Bengal is a double threat, which is especially more in Murshidabad and Malda districts adjacent to Bangladesh, as Hindu population here are minority. He also described North Dinajpur as a sensitive district.
Governor’s claim- Murshidabad violence was pre-made
The Bengal Governor claimed that the Murshidabad violence was already planned. The state government was already expecting danger as the violence erupted soon after the Waqf (Amendment) Act was released on 8 April and the state government shut down the internet on the same day.
He said that there was a huge shortage of coordination in maintaining law and order in the state. For this reason, the Center is recommended to find constitutional options to maintain law and order.
