Violence has continued in West Bengal since the results of the assembly elections. On Wednesday (May 6), Chandranath Rath, personal assistant (PA) of BJP leader Shubhendu Adhikari, was shot dead. During this time, another person present with him got injured due to bullet injury and has been admitted to the nursing home. The injured person is being treated at Vivacity Nursing Home located at Madhyamgram Crossing. Trinamool Congress (TMC) has demanded a CBI inquiry into this incident.

What did Sayoni Ghosh say?

TMC MP Sayoni Ghosh strongly condemned the incident by posting on Instagram on Thursday. He wrote, “The incident with Chandranath Rath is extremely worrying. Regardless of political and ideological differences, regardless of who is in power, it is the responsibility of all of us to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of every person living in this state.”

He further said that no one’s life should be lost like this. There is an appeal to the police administration that strict action should be taken against every criminal involved in the violence that has taken place in the last few days and strict measures should be taken to stop it.

Extremely disturbing incident reported about Mr. Chandranath Rath.

Beyond party lines, beyond political and ideological differences, beyond who is in power, each one of us have the responsibility to maintain law and order and ensure safety of each individual living in this…
