What's the story

In a shocking incident in West Bengal's Bankura, a local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Subhadeep Mishra, was found hanging from the branch of a tree on Wednesday.

Mishra, who participated in the recent three-tier panchayat elections, had been missing for a week.

Locals in Nidhirampur village discovered his body with his hands tied.

BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into Mishra's killing, accusing the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) of being behind it.

The incident led to tension in the area and triggered a blame game in West Bengal.

Following the incident, BJP workers in Bankura demonstrated against the TMC government and local administration.

Upon the arrival of police to retrieve Mishra's body, local BJP representative Chandana Bauri from Saltora staged a protest. He, along with his supporters, refused to hand over Mishra's body to the police.

He even blocked the police vehicle from taking the deceased leader's remains.

History

Similar incident involving BJP leaders' killing

This is not the first time that purported political killings have occurred in West Bengal.

In June, BJP booth president Dipak Samanta was found hanging in his residence in Balpai village in Paschim Medinipur district. Similar incidents were reported in July.

This came amid rising violence in the state during panchayat polls. The BJP blamed TMC for the incidents, while the ruling party denied it.
