New Delhi: In yet another incident, the body of a BJP worker was found hanging from a tree in West Bengal’s Nadia district on Sunday. Bijoy Shil (34) was actively involved as a BJP party worker in the area. His residence is in Ward No. 4 of Gayeshpur Municipality in the district.
On Sunday morning, some locals saw Shil’s body hanging in a mango orchard near the cremation area. The police recovered Shil’s body and sent it for autopsy after locals informed them, according to reports.
The BJP blamed “political goons” for the incident, saying that the party will ensure “justice for all the murdered workers”. No Police complaint has been filed so far. This incident comes five days before Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to visit West Bengal for two days to address party workers as part of organizational meetings. Shah is expected to address party workers in Burdwan and Midnapur zones on 5th November and the following day, is scheduled to visit Kolkata and Nabadeep zones.
Bijoy Shil, 34, an active worker of the BJP, murdered and found hanging in Nadia.
There is a pattern to these political murders in Bengal. It is an attempt to silence BJP cadres.
Under home minister Mamata Banerjee, state’s silence must be seen as its complicity.
