Chandranath Rath, a personal assistant to Suvendu Adhikari (a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party in West Bengal), was brutally murdered near his residence in Madhyamgram late Wednesday night. The attack occurred when assailants blocked Rath's vehicle, leading to his immediate death. Local authorities suspect the murder was premeditated and may have involved local accomplices. Following the incident, the West Bengal Criminal Investigation Department (CID) launched an investigation, with forensic teams collecting evidence at the scene. BJP leaders, including a visibly shaken Adhikari, visited the area to calm party workers who expressed their grief and anger over the murder, questioning whether they should remain silent about the violence. This tragic event has raised fears that West Bengal may not achieve the hoped-for peace, as political tensions remain high in the region.
