As India conducted the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections on Monday, a startling act of violence emerged from West Bengal with the murder of a Trinamool Congress (TMC) worker by unidentified individuals.
In the quiet of Ketugram, nestled within the East Bardhaman district, TMC member Mintu Sheikh fell victim to a cruel bomb assault just last night. According to early reports, Sheikh was headed home when a sudden attack left him amidst the shards of a shattered evening.
The Trinamool Congress is holding the CPI(M) accountable for the cold-blooded murder, suggesting that this violent act harks back to the 34 years of bloodshed under their rule. Mintu Sheikh, who was returning home after electoral duties, was mercilessly targeted and killed with a crude explosive device. Following a significant defeat in Bengal, CPI(M)'s sole agenda seems to be resurrecting the dark era of public intimidation. We urge the Election Commission to take immediate action on this heinous incident.
