An 18-year-old BJP worker was found dead in West Bengal’s Purba Medinipur district on Friday, PTI has reported.
The body of Dinabondhu Middya was found in a betel-leaf farm in Goramahal village in the Mayna area of the district, the report quoted the police as saying.
Middya’s family said that TMC leaders kidnapped and murdered him. “My son was missing since Wednesday. We were being threatened by a few members of the TMC for quite some time. I am sure that my son was murdered by them,” his mother Henarani Middya said, seeking a CBI investigation.
Police said that after receiving a missing person’s complaint, they started searching for Middya, and with the help of his mobile tower location, they found the body.
“TMC is a Talibani (T) Party whose motive is to Murder (M) by Cruel(C) means. Dinabandhu (Dhananjay) Midya, 18 years old. His father, Sudarshan Midya, is an active BJP worker in Goramahal village. Since Wednesday, he has been missing. He was found hanging last night (Thursday). There are signs of injury on his body. In the hanging state in which the body was found, some parts of the body are touching the ground,” BJP West Bengal said in a post on X on Friday.
TMC has rejected the allegations. “The BJP has a tendency to blame TMC for everything. Even before knowing what led to the death, they are blaming us. This is ridiculous,” TMC MLA Nasiruddin Ahamed told PTI.
