Amit Shah demands CBI probe into death of BJP youth leader in Kolkata, calls it ‘political murder’
The HinduThe alleged murder of a Bharatiya Janata Party youth leader at Cossipore in north Kolkata on the second day of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s two-day visit to West Bengal has created a fresh political furore, with Amit Shah labelling it a “political murder” and calling for a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation. After visiting Chowrasia’s family, Amit Shah called Chowrasia’s death a “political murder” and launched a scathing attack on the State government. He accused Amit Shah of coming to Bengal not as the Union Home Minister but as a BJP leader, to indulge in petty politics. West Bengal Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya said that the alacrity with which top BJP leaders along with Amit Shah reached the site suggested that it might have been pre-planned.
