KOLKATA: Tension is prevailing at Sudampur under Moyna Assembly constituency in East Midnapore district of West Bengal, following the recovery of the body of a local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader from a pond, five days after he went missing.
The deceased BJP leader has been identified as Subrata Adhikari (33).
His family members have alleged that this was a case of a political murder, reportedly by some local goons backed by the leadership of the ruling Trinamool Congress.
Kajal Devi, the mother of the deceased, said that her son went out of the residence on the evening of December 28 to attend a puja function of Lord Bajrangbali in the nearby area.
