Ashoknagar(West Bengal): A Trinamool Congress leader from West Bengal's Ashoknagar was shot dead by a group of men owing to a dispute over a land deal on Sunday night.
The atrocious episode took place near Guma Panchayat No. 1 in North 24 Parganas, where the victim, identified as Bijan Biswas, was shot twice from point-blank range when he went to a party colleague's house. According to sources, the miscreant hit one bullet to his head and another pierced through his left ear.
Soon after the incident, the 49-year-old victim was immediately referred to the Barasat Medical College and Hospital, where he was declared dead. In the wake of the incident, a complaint has been filed against Gautam Das, a local businessman, who is allegedly associated with anti-social activities.
