BJP worker’s 82-year old mother, allegedly attacked by TMC workers, dies

BJP worker’s 82-year old mother, Shova Majumdar, succumbed to her injuries on Monday. BJP had alleged that the party worker's mother was attacked by Trinamool Congress supporters.

The BJP on Monday claimed that an 82-year-old woman, a party worker's mother, succumbed to her injuries sustained during an attack by Trinamool Congress supporters in Nimta area of West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district last month. BJP workers staged a protest in front of Nimta police station and burnt tyres on M B Road, even as the TMC claimed that its activists were not involved in any attack and she might have died due to age-related ailments. Expressing grief over the woman's death, Union Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted, "Anguished over the demise of Bengal's daughter Shova Majumdar ji, who was brutally beaten by TMC goons."
