Another TMC leader killed in Malda, two party-men injured
Deccan ChronicleMalda: Less than a fortnight after the killing of Trinamool Congress councillor Dulal Sarkar, fresh violence rocked West Bengal's Malda district as another TMC worker was killed and two others, including a local committee president, were critically injured in an attack on Tuesday, police said. The incident occurred in the Kaliaganj area under the Kaliachak police station limits when TMC local committee president Bakul Sheikh and other party workers were attending a programme to inaugurate a road. Bakul Sheikh and former panchayat chief Esaruddin Sheikh suffered critical injuries and are undergoing treatment at Malda Medical College and Hospital, where their condition remains serious, police said. This attack comes amid heightened tension in Malda following the January 2 killing of TMC district vice-president Dulal Sarkar, who was gunned down in broad daylight near his home.
