Cooch Behar (West Bengal): A TMC worker, identified as Ajijar Rahaman, was killed in Cooch Behar on Wednesday, making it second such incident in the state this week.
Following the death of Rahaman, a local TMC leader accused a BJP leader and his accomplices of the killing.
"Azhar Ali, a member of BJP, and some other people beat up and killed Ajijar Rahaman," he said.
Although, BJP refuted the charges and asserted that the murder took place over a personal issue.
Nisith Pramanik, BJP MP from Cooch Behar, said, "A personal issue was the cause of the incident. The TMC is trying to politicise it. The deceased's family itself is saying it was due to personal reasons, no BJP worker has any role in it."
This comes two days after TMC leader Nirmal Kundu was shot dead by three bike-borne assailants in North Kolkata's Dum Dum area.
Kundu was the TMC president of Ward 6 of North Dum Dum municipality area under Nimta Police station.
Meanwhile, two suspects have been arrested in connection with Kundu's death.
