Breaking: BJP Leader Shuvendu Adhikari’s PA Chandranath Rath Murdered in Bengal

A high-profile murder in West Bengal has triggered major political tension after Chandranath Rath, PA to BJP leader Shuvendu Adhikari, was shot dead in Madhyamgram around 10:15 PM. Police have formed multiple teams and are actively scanning CCTV footage from the area to reconstruct the sequence of events leading to the killing. Preliminary investigation suggests the attack may have been pre-planned. A suspected four-wheeler linked to the incident was reportedly seen in the area around 4 PM, hours before the murder, raising concerns of prior reconnaissance. Police sources also indicate that after the shooting, the assailants escaped on motorcycles in different directions, suggesting a coordinated execution. The BJP has alleged a conspiracy behind the killing and blamed political motives, while demanding strict action against those involved. The incident has intensified political confrontation in the state and raised fresh questions over law and order in West Bengal.
