Kolkata: Trinamool on Thursday demanded a court-monitored CBI investigation into the killing of Suvendu Adhikari’s aide Chandranath Rath, while firmly denying any involvement in the murder.
It demanded “the strongest possible action” and a court-monitored CBI probe “so that those responsible are identified and brought to justice without delay. We have absolutely no connection to this incident whatsoever — this is part of the post-poll violence that has been taking place,” he told ANI. We are the ones who demanded a CBI probe,” the neta said.
Trinamool Congress MP Saugata Roy echoed the demand. “There is absolutely no place for such violence in a democracy. A Trinamool senior dismissed BJP’s allegations as politicisation. “The police are investigating professionally.
The focus should remain on arresting the killers and ensuring justice, not on political point-scoring,” a state Congress senior said. Congress demanded a transparent investigation and accused both parties of “turning every tragedy into a political battle.
