Political violence intensified in West Bengal just days before the new government’s oath-taking ceremony as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari’s personal assistant (PA) Chandranath Rath was shot dead in North 24 Parganas on Wednesday late night. The incident has triggered a sharp political storm in the state. The police have begun a large-scale search for the attackers, although no major breakthrough has been reported so far. Fresh inputs indicate that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has now been constituted to probe the killing.
