Kolkata: The dramatic Suvendu Adhikari PA murder case has taken multiple new turns today as West Bengal Police arrested three history-sheeters in connection with t
he shocking killing of Chandranath Rath. At the same time, the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) has placed a big demand that has sent political shockwaves through the state.
The murder of Suvendu Adhikari’s Personal Assistant (PA) on Wednesday night has triggered a massive political showdown between the BJP and TMC, with both sides accusing each other of fostering violence in West Bengal.
Key Development 1: 3 History-Sheeters Arrested by Bengal Police
In a major breakthrough, the West Bengal Police have arrested three history-sheeters in connection with the Suvendu Adhikari PA murder case. According to police sources, the accused individuals have prior criminal records and were identified based on technical surveillance and local intelligence.
While the names of the arrested individuals have not yet been officially released, sources confirm that all three are residents of the North 24 Parganas district and have been involved in multiple cases of extortion and assault. Police are currently interrogating them to uncover the full conspiracy behind the murder.
A senior police officer told reporters, We are investigating all angles. The arrests were made overnight, and we are confident of solving the Suvendu Adhikari PA murder case soon.
Key Development 2: TMC Makes Big Demand in the Case
In a political twist, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has placed a big demand that has surprised many. According to LIVE updates from the ground, TMC leaders are now demanding that the Suvendu Adhikari PA murder case be handed over to a central agency like the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation).
This demand is significant because TMC has traditionally opposed CBI intervention in state matters. Political analysts suggest that TMC is making this big demand to preempt BJP’s allegations of a state police cover-up and to project an image of transparency.
A senior TMC leader, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, We want the truth to come out. If BJP has any doubt on Bengal Police, we are ready for a CBI probe. Let the Suvendu Adhikari PA murder case be investigated by any agency – we have nothing to hide.
BJP leaders, however, have called this TMC’s big demand a political drama and accused the ruling party of trying to divert attention from the real culprits.
What Happened: Chandranath Rath Shot Dead
The Suvendu Adhikari PA murder case relates to the brutal killing of Chandranath Rath, who served as the Personal Assistant to Suvendu Adhikari – the Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly.
According to police reports, the incident occurred on Wednesday night (May 6) in Madhyamgram, North 24 Parganas, on the northern outskirts of Kolkata. Rath was returning from some work when unidentified assailants intercepted him and opened fire from close range. He died on the spot.
The area has witnessed frequent political clashes between BJP and TMC workers over the past several years.
Political Reactions: BJP vs TMC Fireworks
BJP Leaders Demand Justice
Union Minister of State Nityanand Rai launched a sharp attack on the TMC government:
TMC’s goons have maintained an atmosphere of murder and rape in West Bengal for the last 15 years. If they try to bring West Bengal back to that same atmosphere, they should understand that now there is a Bharatiya Janata Party government there. The Suvendu Adhikari PA murder case proves that law and order has collapsed.
BJP MLA Shankar Kumar Guha, who knew Chandranath Rath personally, expressed deep grief:
Chandra was very intelligent; our relations were very good. But TMC’s hooliganism politics in Bengal must end. My demand is that the culprits get the strictest punishment. The rule of goons, bombs, and guns in Bengal’s politics must end.
TMC’s Counter Attack
Reacting to the Suvendu Adhikari PA murder case, TMC spokespersons accused the BJP of indulging in “vote bank politics” over a dead body. They claimed that the BJP is trying to create instability in West Bengal after losing public support.
TMC leader Kunal Ghosh (representative quote) said, Let the police investigate. Why is BJP jumping to conclusions? If they have evidence, they should give it to the court.
Suvendu Adhikari’s Reaction
Suvendu Adhikari, whose PA was killed, has not yet issued a detailed public statement. However, sources close to him say he is deeply shocked and anguished by the loss of his trusted aide. Adhikari is expected to address the media soon and may demand a CBI probe into the Suvendu Adhikari PA murder case.
What Happens Next?
With three history-sheeters now arrested and TMC making a big demand for a CBI inquiry, the Suvendu Adhikari PA murder case is far from over. Political analysts predict:
- More arrests are likely in the coming days.
- BJP may intensify its protests across Bengal, demanding the dismissal of the TMC government.
- A possible CBI investigation if the central government intervenes.
- Impact on upcoming elections in the state, as violence becomes a central campaign issue.
