Suvendu Adhikari aide murder: Police probe tightens as seized bike yields no clues
Police widen the probe into the murder of Suvendu Adhikari's aide, with officials hinting at professional shooters from neighboring states and no clues from the seized bike.
Police in West Bengal's border districts are intensifying searches after the murder of Chandranath Rath, an aide to BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari. Investigators say gunmen have yet to be traced, even as a seized bike yielded no usable clues. Authorities are weighing the possibility that professional shooters from neighboring states carried out the hit.
Officials also say local criminals could have provided logistical support, suggesting a wider network behind the assassination.
The case underscores the volatility of politics in the border regions as investigators pursue cross-border leads and review CCTV footage and other evidence.
Police say more raids and coordinated efforts with security agencies are on the cards as they press for a breakthrough.
