Dilip Ram (40), the husband of a TMC gram panchayat pradhan, was crossing the rail tracks near Bandel station around 9.30 am when miscreants allegedly shot him. The ruling Trinamool has accused BJP-backed miscreants for the murder. Trinamool’s Hoogly district chief Tapan Dasgupta said, “Ram was threatened multiple times at gunpoint by local miscreants. The BJP has trashed the murder allegations and hinted that TMC infighting could be behind the killing. In contrast, the TMC won 12 seats less than its 2014 tally of 34.
