After the body of a 52-year-old BJP worker was found hanging from a tree in Ghoramara area of South 24 Parganas district on Thursday, his family alleged that he was killed by local Trinamool Congress leaders.
Police, on the other hand, said that they have found a handwritten “suicide note” from Goutam Patra’s body and claimed that the local BJP worker was subjected to public ridicule over allegations of doing “unnatural activities” with a cow recently.
Patra’s family in a complaint lodged at Sagar Police Station has named 11 local Trinamool leaders and 10 others for the “murder”.
“My father was very vocal against Trinamool leaders indulging in corruption in cyclone Amphan relief distribution.
He had organised agitations here.
Since then, TMC leaders were trying to kill my father,” Patra’s son Soumitra said.
According to him, Patra was summoned by local TMC leader Amalendu Guria to his house on Wednesday evening.
“They had also called another local BJP leader Lalmohan Halder to Guria’s house.
After 10 pm, they kicked out Halder from the house.
After that, we did not get any news of father.
