In tragic events that took place in Kolkata, a member of the Trinamool Congress party lost his life while a local leader from the BJP party sustained serious injuries. According to the police, the TMC worker, Sanjeev Das, also known as Potla, was killed in Baguiati area due to a clash between two factions within the party. The incident occurred on Saturday night at Arjunpur West Para in Baguiati, where a heated confrontation erupted and turned into a violent exchange of bricks between both sides. Das was gravely injured and was immediately taken to the hospital, where he was unfortunately declared dead by the doctors.
It was revealed that Das had a history of legal troubles, with a total of eleven cases registered against him under the Arms Act. The police have arrested thirteen people in connection with the incident and are currently conducting further investigations. The family members of the deceased have accused TMC workers who support the local councillor of being responsible for his death. They claimed that after being injured in the brick-batting, Das was brutally beaten with rods, leading to his demise.
In a separate incident, a woman BJP leader named Saraswati Sarkar filed a police complaint stating that she was assaulted by TMC workers in the Anandapur area of south Kolkata. Sarkar, who serves as the BJP's Kasba Mandal president, reported that she was attacked with sharp weapons while putting up election banners and festoons with her party workers on Saturday night. She suffered severe injuries to her head and had to be admitted to the hospital. The police have registered a case in the local police station.
Amit Malviya, the head of BJP's IT cell and co-in-charge of West Bengal, expressed his concern over the safety of women in the state and criticized Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her failure as the Home Minister of Bengal. He shared a video of Sarkar sitting in a police station with a profusely bleeding head, and stated that the people of Bengal will surely respond to these heinous acts.
Sarkar later spoke to the media and informed that two of her team members were also brutally attacked by TMC workers while putting up banners for the party campaign. She further added that when she went to their rescue, she herself became a target of the TMC goons. BJP spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya strongly condemned the attack on women and stated that such incidents were unheard of in Kolkata before. He assured that the people of the state would give a befitting reply to such atrocities.
The local BJP workers held a protest in front of the Anandapur police station, demanding the immediate arrest of those responsible for the attack and criticizing the lax approach of the law enforcers. A TMC leader denied the involvement of the party in the incident but called for strict action against the culprits. The incident has raised concerns over the safety and security of the citizens, especially with the upcoming voting in the constituencies of Kolkata and its surrounding areas on June 1st.
