Suvendu Adhikari, the former West Bengal chief minister and current leader of the opposition, has taken to the public stage to name Abhishek Banerjee as a key figure in the murder of his aide. According to Adhikari, the murder was orchestrated by a ‘nephew gang’ that is tied to Banerjee.
The claim comes as the police continue their probe into the killing. No formal charges have yet been brought against Banerjee or any other political figure. The allegations have amplified political rivalry in the state, with BJP officials urging a thorough investigation.
Bengal Police have stated that the case is being handled with due diligence, and no official statement has confirmed any link between Banerjee and the murder.
The incident has drawn widespread media attention, and both political camps are expected to present their arguments in the coming days as the investigation proceeds.
