In a chilling incident that has sent shockwaves across South 24 Parganas, a senior BJP leader was shot at by unidentified miscreants in the Gangasagar area. The victim sustained critical bullet injuries and is currently fighting for his life. Due to his deteriorating condition, he has been shifted to a specialized hospital in Kolkata for emergency treatment.

The Incident: According to eyewitnesses, the attack took place while the BJP leader was out on his routine morning rounds. A group of bike-borne assailants intercepted him and opened fire from a close range. As the leader collapsed in a pool of blood, the attackers fled the scene before the locals could intervene. The immediate sound of gunfire caused a stampede-like situation in the nearby market area.

Political Allegations and Probe: The BJP has condemned the attack, labeling it a “pre-planned political murder attempt” by their rivals to suppress the opposition. They have demanded an immediate high-level investigation into the security breach in a high-profile area like Gangasagar. Local police have cordoned off the crime scene and are scanning CCTV footage to identify the culprits. Extra police contingents have been deployed to prevent any further escalation of violence in the region.
