Congress worker killed; party points accusing finger at TMC

A day after a Congress worker was shot dead in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district in the run up to the panchayat election, the party on Saturday alleged that the ruling Trinamool Congress was behind the murder.

Fulchand Sheikh, 45, was attacked by TMC’s goons when he was playing cards in Ratanpur village on Friday, his family members alleged.

Sheikh was rushed to Kandi Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Two other persons were injured in the attack, police said.
