Congress leader in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Tue🐷sday demanded a court-monitored CBI probe into the killingಞ of party councillor Tapan Kandu and the mysterious death of student activist Anis Khan in West Bengal.
A four-time Congress councillor of Jhalda Municipal❀ity in West Bengal's Purulia district, Kandu was sꦅhot dead on Sunday.
Raising the issues during Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, Chowdhury alleged the Trinamool Congress, the ruling party in West Bengal, was involved in t🧜he murder of Kandu in collusion with a section of the police.
💙About the death of 18-year old Khan last month, Chowdhury, who is also the state Congress chief, claimed that elections can no longer be held independently in the state amid the prevailing "lawlessness".
"I demand a court-monitored CBI inquiry int𝐆o the murder of Kandu and Khan. I urge the Human Rights Commission, Scheduled Caste Commission and the Minorities Co👍mmission that they also demand such an inquiry," Chowdhury said.
Anis Khan's family members have alleged that he was pushe𒁏d off the second floor of their residence at Amta in Howrah district on the night of February 18 by four people with one donning a police uniform and the others wearing the dress of civic volunteers.
Soon after Kandu's killing on Sunday, the stateꩵ unit of Congress had blamed TMC for it in a tweet.
