April 28, 2023 11:12

A scuffle broke out between BJP and TMC workers in the Cooch Behar district of West Bengal during the BJP's protest over the alleged murder of a BJP leader and the Kaliyaganj rape and murder case.

BJP workers who were protesting against the alleged murder of a BJP leader and Kaliyaganj rape and murder case were detained on Friday in Cooch Behar district of West Bengal.

West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers have called for a 12-hour bandh today in North Bengal over alleged police brutality against common people in the state.

BJP leader Debasree Choudhury alleged that mamata Banerjee-led TMC government is against Rajbangshi people. "We have called for a bandh after seeing the condition here. This incident (the alleged murder of a BJP leader) was very shameful. Constant attacks are done on the Rajbangshi people which shows that TMC is against Rajbangshi," Choudhury said.

Meanwhile, in Siliguri BJP workers were seen enforcing a 12-hour bandh by shutting off the shops. On Friday, West Bengal BJP President Sukanta Majumdar said, "BJP has called for a 12-hour bandh on Friday in North Bengal to protest against police brutality on common people."

The shutdown has been called following the death of BJP worker Mrityunjay Burman in Radhikapur near Kaliaganj in Uttar Dinajpur district. BJP alleged that Mrityunjay died in police firing. -- ANI
