Trinamool Congress Worker Stabbed To Death In Bengal, 7 Arrested: Police

The BJP dismissed the allegations by the Trinamool worker's family, saying they have no reason for resorting to violence as they are confident about winning the Keshpur seat.

A Trinamool Congress worker died after he was allegedly stabbed in West Bengal's Paschim Medinipur district in the early hours of Thursday, hours before polling started in the area, police said. Uttam Dolui, 48, was at a local club in Hariharpur in the district's Keshpur area along with a few others when around 10-15 people allegedly attacked him with sharp weapons, they said. He died on the way to a hospital in Midnapore, they added. Dolui's family alleged that BJP "goons" attacked him to create tension in the area and intimidate voters ahead of the polling.
