Times of India | 2 June 2024
NADIA: A BJP worker was killed by a group of men in West Bengal's Nadia district in post-poll violence, with the saffron party pointing fingers at the ruling Trinamool Congress. The TMC, however, claimed that the killing was a fallout of a family feud.
Police sources said the incident happened at Bhangachandpur area in Kaliganj in the northern part of the district when BJP worker, Hafijur Sheikh, was playing carrom with others on Saturday night.
It is alleged that 10-12 people came on motorbikes and first shot Sheikh and then hacked him, killing him on the spot.
Following the incident, local residents staged a demonstration for over two hours, refusing to allow the police to remove the body. The body was later sent for post-mortem examination.
