He was immediately taken to the local hospital, where doctors declared him “brought dead”.

“So far, we have arrested two people and detained three others. A countrymade revolver used to shoot the MLA has also been recovered,” a police officer said.

West Bengal education minister Partha Chatterjee, while accusing the BJP for the murder, said, “A dangabaz (riotous) bloodthirsty party like the BJP is capable of such acts. People of this country know it well. The way they have been provoking people, it's the result of such acts.”
