Murder of Bengal businessman accused of coal smuggling triggers BJP-TMC tussle

Hindustan Times  

A West Bengal businessman facing police probe for illegal coal mining operations was shot dead by unidentified people in front an eatery on NH-2 in East Burdwan district on Saturday evening, police said. “We are examining security camera footage recovered from the crime scene because we have received information that Latif, too, was travelling with Jha but in a different car,” a police officer said. Jha was arrested several times by the state police and the criminal investigation department in the last few years for allegedly running illegal opencast mines and smuggling coal, a state police officer said. Bengal tourism minister Babul Supriyo, who was the BJP’s Lok Sabha member from West Burdwan’s Asansol constituency, alleged in a series of tweets that Jha was inducted into the BJP by former state president Dilip Ghosh and national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya.
