In West Bengal, a second BJP worker was found dead hanging from a high tension electric tower. This comes three days after a young BJP worker was found hanging dead from a tree.
The 30 year old man identified as Dulal Kumar was found in Dabha village in Bengal. Mr. Kumar’s family has alleged Trinamool Party workers killed him. The family has dismissed allegations of a possible suicide.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee ordered the Criminal Investigation Department (CDI) to investigate both the deaths. Both the men Dulal Kumar and Trilochan Mahato were residents of different villages but under the same police jurisdiction.
The angered BJP workers organized a rally in Kolkata this evening with slogans against the CM. The protestors also burnt pictures of Mamata Banerjee at the rally.
The young BJP worker Mahato was found hanging from a tree with a chilling message written on his shirt. The message was loosely translated to, “This is for doing BJP politics from age 18. Been trying to kill you since the vote. Failed. Today you are dead.” There was a note with the same message left at the feet of the body.
BJP President Amit Shah reacted to the incident and tweeted, “deeply hurt by the brutal killing of our young karyakarta.” The President uploaded graphic images of Mahato’s body with the caption, “A young life full of possibilities was brutally taken out under state’s patronage. He was hanged on a tree just because his ideology differed from that of State sponsored goons.”
The BJP party immediately called for a CBI inquiry into the political murder.
