Sujan, his son, alleged that his father was returning home after attending an invitation when six BJP supporters chased him, switched off an electric transformer that led to darkness in the area and hacked him multiple times.

"My father was killed for being an active TMC worker,” Sujan said.

Police sources said a complaint has been filed by the Ghosh family and a woman has been detained for interrogation.

District BJP leaders, however, denied the charge. “The murder has no connection to politics and is the fallout of a personal enmity,” said a local BJP worker.

In Murshidabad, Menaka Mondal, 40, a BJP member of the Dafarpur panchayat, was allegedly fatally injured by her neighbours during a scuffle over an old land dispute at Alerupor village under Raghunathganj police station.

Rushed to Jangipur subdivisional hospital, Menaka succumbed to her injuries after a while.

Amit, the deceased’s son, lodged a complaint with the police against six persons who are currently at large. No arrests have been made so far.

“We are in search of the accused. Investigations are on,” said a police officer.
