Guwahati, February 9, 2019:

A Member of Legislative Assembly, Satyajit Biswas, was shot down from point-blank range by miscreants on Saturday night, police have said.

Satyajit, who was an MLA from Krishnaganj constituency, was at a Saraswatri puja function at Fulbari in West Bengal's Nadia district when the incident took place. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.

The district TMC President Gourishankar Dutta has blamed supporters of the BJP leader Mukul Roy for the murder, but BJP state President Dilip Ghosh has rubbished the claims, stating that factional fights within the TMC are responsible for the MLA’s death. More details are awaited.
