Police suspect the killing was a planned and targeted attack that took place late Wednesday night. Following the incident, BJP leader Arjun Singh accused Abhishek Banerjee of being behind the murder, alleging it was politically motivated and aimed at intimidating party workers after the recent Assembly elections. The All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) has denied the charges and condemned the killing. According to police sources, Rath’s vehicle was intercepted in the Doharia area by armed assailants who allegedly trailed him using a car and a motorcycle before opening fire at close range. He sustained multiple bullet injuries and was rushed to a private hospital, where he later died. His driver was also injured and is undergoing treatment in Kolkata. The BJP termed the incident a targeted political attack and demanded a thorough investigation, linking it to the ongoing confrontation between the BJP and TMC in the state. Party leaders said the killing reflects rising tensions in Bengal’s political landscape following the election results.
