**TMC Worker Shot in Murshidabad During CM’s Visit**
A Trinamool Congress (TMC) worker was shot and injured in Murshidabad on Tuesday night, coinciding with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s three-day visit to the district. The police have apprehended two suspects, Rajesh SK and Bobin SK, in connection with the shooting, recovering a firearm and ammunition from them.
The victim, Mawla Baksh Mandal, suffered a bullet wound to his left hand after allegedly being targeted by three assailants near his residence in Hariharpara. He was first taken to the Hariharpara Block Primary Health Centre and subsequently referred to Murshidabad Medical College Hospital due to the worsening of his condition.
This incident unfolded while Chief Minister Banerjee was staying at the Baharampur Circuit House. Earlier that day, she had visited areas affected by violence and addressed a public meeting in Suti, all under strict security measures throughout the district.
Mandal claims the attack was motivated by a longstanding feud, naming two local Congress leaders, Rajesh SK and Bobin SK, as the attackers. “I was sitting next to my house when three individuals approached and opened fire. Two shots were fired, and one struck my left hand,” Mandal recounted.
The shooting has heightened tensions in the area, prompting a swift response from the Hariharpara police, who managed to control the situation. An investigation into the incident is currently underway.
