Satyendra Kumar, commandant of CRPF, said that investigating officer also interrogated Prem Kumar Ravi, assistant commandant of CRPF. It is also learnt that Dey also interrogated Chakraborty on Sunday over the incident.

Sharma stated that Ravi called lady constables of the CRPF in the afternoon during the poll day to control the situation at Garupara. Earlier, a team headed by Prem Kumar had reached there to look into the law and order situation. But a police party, headed by Debasish Chakraborty, Officer-in-Charge of the Nandigram police station, had also reached the village and intervened into the situation. The police party had allegedly abused the CRPF lady constables. Subsequently, a scuffle broke out between the CRPF personnel and the police, in which an RAF jawan assaulted Sharma. Later, the CRPF had lodged an FIR with the ACJM, Haldia on June 2 regarding the incident. Prem Kumar Ravi had alleged that Debasish had masterminded the assault on the CRPF team.
