In the Chandranath Rath murder case in Madhyamgram, North 24 Parganas, police have detained three local history-sheeters for questioning as the investigation speeds up. Chandranath Rath, the personal assistant of Shubhendu Adhikari, was recently killed in what authorities are treating as a high-profile targeted attack. The BJP has intensified its allegations, claiming the murder was politically motivated and part of a larger conspiracy, indirectly blaming the TMC leadership. BJP leaders argue that not only the shooters but also the “masterminds” behind the attack should be identified and punished. West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya described the incident as a well-planned killing, citing multiple close-range gunshots and raising serious concerns about law and order in the state. He also suggested that the attack carries a strong political message, further escalating tensions between the ruling party and the opposition. Overall, the case has turned into a major political flashpoint in West Bengal, with investigations ongoing and accusations sharply intensifying.
