Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, after meeting the family of the deceased in Rampurhat, made a dramatic announcement about the main perpetrator of the Birbhum arson - TMC block president Anarul Hussain.

"Hussain should surrender in front of the cops. The IC and SDPO didn't work. The police should be more active and those who don't wish to work should leave their jobs," said Mamata. Within hours of the announcement, Tarapith police in Birbhum district arrested Hussain who is presently being quizzed. Not convinced at the outcome, the opposition cried foul.
