MURSHIDABAD: A local Trinamool Congress leader, Altaf Sheikh, succumbed to his injuries in a hospital hours after being shot at by unidentified miscreants while returning home in Murshidabad district of West Bengal.
“The deceased, who was the headmaster of Nowadapara Madrasa, succumbed to injuries at the hospital in Murshidabad in the morning,” said police.
He was shot from a close range at Raninagar area around 9.15pm on Tuesday.
“We have initiated an investigation and search is under way to nab the culprits,” said a senior police officer of the district.
Sheikh was a CPI(M) leader before he joined the TMC.
“The possibility of the involvement of opposition parties in the killing cannot be ruled out, as there is an attempt to create an atmosphere of unrest ahead of the panchayat polls,” alleged TMC leader and MP Shantanu Sen.
Rural polls in Bengal are due this year.
