CPM leader Susanta Ghosh returned home at Garbeta in West Midnapore on Sunday after nine years to a rousing welcome by party cadres and villagers.
After the Trinamul Congress rode to power in 2011, the former minister was named in the Benachapra skeleton case and arrested. After being jailed for several months, Susanta was granted bail by the Supreme Court on February 3, 2012.
The court had granted him bail on the condition that he would not be able to enter his home district of West Midnapore. However, riding a recent Supreme Court order, Susanta on Sunday first returned to Salbani, from where he led a huge rally to Chandrakona, where he was felicitated by party cadres and local leaders at the party office.
Addressing a rally in Chandrakona, Susanta said Trinamul had framed him in a false case as part of its political conspiracy. People will give a fitting reply to the conspiracy, he added.
