KOLKATA: Four people were arrested on Saturday in connection with the murder of a local Trinamool Congress leader in the Konnagar area of West Bengal's Hooghly.
Police suspect that the murder was committed due to a land dispute.
Police sources said the accused were arrested for murdering Pintu Chakraborty, a.k.a Munna, a Trinamool Congress member of Kanaipur Panchayat, in Konnagar in Hooghly district on July 30.
"The four accused persons were identified after examining the CCTV footage of the crime spot. We are also investigating the roles of other persons, who could be behind this crime or involved in the conspiracy, " the state police official said.
The police, however, did not reveal the identity of the arrested persons, and would do so only after their presentation at a court later in the day.
Munna was attacked when he closed his shop in the Konnagar area and was heading for a Trinamool Congress party meeting.
Critically injured Munna was rushed to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
