Close shave for TMC neta as miscreants open fire on car in Behrampore
Times of India | 30 December 2024
Behrampore: Miscreants opened fire on a Trinamool functionary's car in Behrampore on Saturday night, sparking tension in the area.
According to locals, Behrampore town Youth Trinamool Congress president Papai Ghosh was on his way to his Manindranagar residence when men on bikes sped towards his vehicle. Apprehending an attack, the driver of the car sped up even as the culprits opened fire. While the car was damaged, the bullets missed Ghosh.
"We have a number of enemies here. Of late, the district Congress has joined hands with BJP and they are leaving no stone unturned to hurt us," Ghosh said.
Naru Gopal Mukherjee, chairman of Trinamool-run Behrampore municipality, said: "Syndicates involved in murder have become active in Murshidabad after the Lok Sabha polls. They are getting tacit support from both Congress and BJP."
District Congress neta Jayanta Das, however, dismissed the claims. "Trinamool tries to blame others to hide their internal conflicts over power and money. A proper police investigation will reveal the people behind the attack," he said.
District BJP netas also demanded a thorough investigation into the incident.
