The murder of Chandra, the personal assistant of Suvendu Adhikari (a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party, BJP), has sparked allegations of political motivation. BJP leader Dilip Haldar described the incident as a 'planned murder' in response to the ruling party's electoral defeat. Adhikari himself condemned the killing as a 'cold-blooded and pre-planned murder,' indicating that a reconnaissance was conducted prior to the attack. Eyewitnesses noted that the shots were fired at point-blank range, suggesting a deliberate execution. In response, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has condemned the violence and called for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, highlighting a pattern of post-poll violence allegedly linked to BJP supporters. The TMC emphasized the need for accountability in political killings, asserting that such violence has no place in a democracy.
