Kayum had turned up to attend a booth committee meeting of Trinamul at the ground of a primary school in Nalkora in Hathgachi on Saturday. The police report said the rest of the Trinamul supporters were preparing to take out a huge rally in the area then. Some sources familiar with the content of the report said shopowner Pradip Mondal, a BJP worker, immediately protested, springing out of a makeshift shelter. Pradip had around 30 BJP supporters with him and they were apparently prepared to take on any challenge after learning that Trinamul was organising the booth meeting. Pradip was pulled out and chased down few metres before he was shot dead,” Sukumar told The Telegraph.
