The recent murders of an RSS supporter and his family in Murshidabad’s Jiaganj has sparked outrage with West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar condemning the killings as “dastardly and barbaric” and asking the State’s Director General of Police (DGP) to provide him an urgent update on the situation. On Thursday, a fact finding team of the RSS and the BJP including State president Dilip Ghosh visited Jiaganj and attended the final rites of the deceased. While a 38-year-old BJP worker sustained bullet injuries at Baruipur in South 24 Parganas on Thursday, Sheikh Farid, a Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader was shot at in Amdanga in North 24 Parganas district. On October 8, 35-year-old Raju Kurmi, a TMC supporter, was shot dead at Kachrapara in North 24 Parganas district. And a day earlier, a well known TMC leader Kurban Sheikh was killed at Panskura in Purba Medinipur district.
