Five years after an alleged incident of post-election violence in Sandeshkhali, North 24 Parganas, legal authorities have exhumed the remains of a local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker to conduct further forensic examinations.

The exhumation procedure took place under magistrate oversight and with police security following directives from the court.
