CM Mamata terms Cooch Behar firing incident 'genocide'

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on April 11 termed the killing of four TMC workers by central forces in Cooch Behar during the fourth phase of polling on Saturday as 'genocide'.

They sprayed bullets.

They could have shot on the leg or the lower body but every bullet hit them in the neck or chest area," said CM Mamata.
