On being asked any primary information regarding the case, the SP said, "We are getting information about some kind of financial dealings so we are working on that. Once we confirm it, we let you know."

"CID is also associating with us," he added.

Earlier today, West Bengal Police had said that the man who was killed along with family in Murshidabad is not an RSS worker and denied any political angle in the incident calling it a case of 'personal enmity.'

"During the investigation and while examination of several local witnesses, family members, friends, no one claimed his association with RSS. Even during the search of the house of the victim, no such document could be found available, identifying the deceased with any political party. His family members vehemently opposed and criticised media for such false propaganda," the police said.

He further said, "Mother of deceased Maya Pal staying in Sahapur PS Sagardighi with her elder daughter Bandhu Priya Pal has denied any involvement with RSS."

"A letter is recovered from the deceased house that appears to be written by his wife hinting towards a strained husband-wife relationship," the press release said.

Several leaders from BJP and RSS have earlier claimed that the man, who was allegedly murdered in Murshidabad was an RSS worker.
