Kolkata: The bodies of two BJP workers were found in different parts of West Bengal on Tuesday (August 3), with the saffron party claiming that they were killed by miscreants sheltered by the ruling Trinamool Congress. The Trinamool Congress, however, rubbished the allegation levelled by BJP. Police said BJP worker Indrajit Sutradhar was found hanging from the ceiling of a room with hands tied from behind in an abandoned building at Khoirasol in Birbhum district. The body of the deceased has been sent for post-mortem examination. Though prima facie it appeared to be a case of murder, the autopsy report will confirm the exact cause and circumstances, a police officer told PTI. Local BJP leaders said Sutradhar was murdered by criminals sheltered by the TMC. Family members of Sutradhar said the middle-aged man was missing since Monday night, and that he had personal enmity with some locals.
