West Bengal: BJP calls for bandh in Nadia's Kalyani after its activist's body found hanging from tree

Kolkata/IBNS: Body of an active BJP worker was found hanging from a tree on Sunday morning at Gayeshpur area under Kalyani Police Station limits in Nadia district of West Bengal following which the party has called for a 12-hour general shut down in Kalyani on Monday (Nov 2).

According reports, the BJP activist, who has been identified as Bijoy Shil (34), was a local resident and used to deliver LPG cylinders to homes.

BJP Bengal president Dilip Ghosh claimed that the TMC sheltered goons had killed Bijoy Shil and later hanged his body from the tree.

BJP's national vice president Mukul Roy tweeted: "Bijoy Sil, member of BJP, has been cruelly murdered. The pattern remains the same. This time it is in Gayeshpur constituency, Nadia Kalyani. The law and order of West Bengal has totally gone awry."

Local TMC leaders, meanwhile, denied their party's involvement in the matter.

Senior BJP leaders said that besides observing a half-day general strike in Kalyani, the party will stage demonstrations outside all police stations across the state on Monday to protest the Gayeshpur incident.

Local police have sent the body for autopsy and initiated investigation into the unnatural death of the BJP activist.
