The West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee strongly condemns the brutal killing of Congress supporter, Debdeep Chatterjee, in Asansol, who was known to be working closely with Asansol North Congress candidate, Shri Prasenjit Puitandi, in a shocking incident of violence during the post poll phase. The victim was attacked and beaten by miscreants linked to the ruling All India Trinamool Congress and succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter. This tragic incident exposes the complete collapse of law and order in the state and raises serious questions about the safety of opposition workers in West Bengal. The fact that such violence has occurred immediately after polling highlights a deeply disturbing pattern of political intimidation and vendetta. The Congress party stands firmly with the bereaved family and demands: * Immediate arrest of all those responsible for this heinous crime * A fair, impartial, and time-bound investigation * Adequate compensation and protection for the victim’s family It is deeply concerning that even an FIR had not been registered at the time of reporting, further indicating administrative apathy in the face of such a grave incident. The Indian National Congress reiterates that democracy cannot survive in an atmosphere of fear and violence. We will continue to raise our voice against such atrocities and fight to ensure justice for every victim.
