West Bengal: BJP worker brutally beaten up by TMC goons in Islampur, condition critical

Apurba Chakraborty was returning from a wedding when he was attacked by unidentified people

Another case of political intolerance has reportedly come to light in West Bengal where a BJP worker is alleged to have been brutally attacked by Trinamool Congress workers.


According to a tweet posted by BJP Bengal from its official Twitter handle, a BJP worker Apurba Chakraborty was brutally beaten up by TMC goons in Islampur, West Bengal. Chakraborty’s condition is critical and he is currently admitted in Uttar Banga Medical  College. He is a BJP leader from North Dinajpur district in West Bengal.

Apurba Chakraborty had gone to a wedding ceremony of his relative in Gulshan area of Islampur ps last night. When he was going back from the wedding at around 10 PM, suspected TMC goons assaulted him on the road. After some time local residents of the area gathered there and the miscreants ran away. He was admitted to the hospital in critical condition.

Violence against political rivals is on a rise under the Mamata government in West Bengal. Recently a TMC MLA  Sovan Chatterjee and his friend Baishakhi Chatterjee was confined to a bungalow as there were speculations of him and his friend joining the BJP. His friend Baishakhi Chatterjee was also given rape threats.

Last year in the month of May, a 6-month pregnant woman who was relative of a BJP candidate in Panchayat Elections in West Bengal, was allegedly raped by TMC activists in Nadia district.

Last year TMC had won 20,000 seats uncontested in West Bengal Panchayat elections amidst the allegations that the party which fielded its candidates on all rural seats, had prevented filing of nominations by resorting to violence. The BJP had moved the Supreme Court to interfere in the matter of its party workers not being allowed to file nominations for the Panchayat elections.
