The Kolkata&nbsp;High Court has taken suo&nbsp;moto&nbsp;cognizance of the Bhirbhum&nbsp;violence. The matter will be heard&nbsp;by a two-judge bench of Chief Justice Prakash Shrivastava and Justice Rajarshi Bharadwaj.&nbsp;
The incident left eight, including two&nbsp;children, dead in a suspected fallout of the murder of a ruling TMC panchayat official.
