KOLKATA: A Trinamool Congress worker has been arrested in connection with the recent suicide of a BLO in Bengal’s Murshidabad, said the police on Tuesday.
The police said the Trinamool worker had refused to repay a loan of Rs 20 lakh to the deceased BLO concerned, which pushed the latter into a state of acute mental frustration.
Initially, Trinamool's Murshidabad leadership projected the death due to SIR-related pressure. The party even staged protests outside the office of West Bengal's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) in Kolkata. However, investigations led the sleuths to the Trinamool worker, who was arrested on Monday.
