A Congress activist died on July 25 after being allegedly tied to a tree and thrashed by a group of people at Moinaguri in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri district, officials said.
Manik Roy was allegedly beaten with iron rods and sticks over some dispute with his neighbors on July 24 night, they said.
He was rescued by a police team from Moinaguri and taken to Jalpaiguri Super Speciality Hospital in a critical condition and succumbed to injuries, the officials said.
His family members and WBPCC president Adhir Chowdhury claimed that some of the assailants belonged to the ruling Trinamool Congress.
Five people were arrested on July 25 in connection with the incident.
Roy’s wife alleged that he had been receiving death threats for some time.
“It seems that Congress workers have no right to pursue political activities in TMC-ruled West Bengal,” Chowdhury said.
“We want a fair probe into the murder of Roy,” he added.
Meanwhile, TMC leader Kunal Ghosh said that it was an unfortunate incident and none of those involved should be spared.
Any attempt to politicize this should be denounced, Ghosh asserted.
