What Happened in 2021?
Abhijit Sarkar was killed on May 2, 2021. This was after the Bengal state assembly election results were announced. A mob attacked a BJP party office on Sitalatalla Lane in Narkeldanga. Sarkar was there, watching the election results.
The 30-year-old managed to escape to his home. But he was later dragged out and killed. The case was given to the CBI after Sarkar’s family was unhappy with the initial investigation.
