Kolkata Dec 26 (NationPress) Tension surged in Nandigram, East Midnapore district of West Bengal, on Thursday morning after the body of a local Trinamool Congress leader was found under suspicious circumstances.
The deceased has been named as Mahadeb Bishoyi (52), who was an active member of the local organizational unit of the ruling party at Gokulnagar village panchayat within the Nandigram-I block.
Upon the arrival of the police to the scene to retrieve the body, local Trinamool Congress supporters initiated a protest.
According to the party members, the assailants abducted Dishoyi while he was heading home after concluding his shift at his food stall.
When Dishoyi failed to return home overnight, his family and local Trinamool Congress members began searching for him.
Ultimately, his body, marked by multiple injuries, was found outside his food stall on Thursday morning.
The police collected Dishoyi's body and dispatched it for an autopsy.
Local leaders from the Trinamool Congress have accused individuals linked to the BJP of being responsible for Dishoyi's murder.
"Dishoyi was a dedicated member of our party. The BJP activists have slain him out of revenge. We demand severe penalties for those accountable for Dishoyi's death,"
they asserted.
Conversely, the BJP's West Bengal President and Union Minister of State, Sukanta Majumdar, has strongly refuted these claims, suggesting that infighting within the Trinamool Congress in Nandigram could have contributed to Dishoyi's demise.
"BJP does not engage in a politics of revenge. A thorough investigation must take place, and the police should apprehend the actual culprits. This murder might stem from factional conflicts within the ruling party,"
Majumdar stated.
