The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in West Bengal has sent a report to its headquarters about the attack on its team in 24 Parganas district which injured three of its officers, officials said on Monday (January 8).
The ED officers were injured and several of their vehicles vandalised as hundreds of supporters of TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh attacked them during a raid on Friday.

The attack took place when the ED team went to Sheikh's house in Sandeshkhali over alleged irregularities in the state's ration system.
An NIA investigation into the attack is likely to be sought by the ED headquarters on the basis of the report, an ED officer told PTI.
"A two-page report on the attack was sent on Sunday. We have mentioned minute details of the incident and along with that sent videos of the attack. Media reports have also been sent," he said.
