Bjp Leader Manish Shukla Shot Dead

A speeding bike zooms past a group of policemen. Seconds later the two pillion riders fall backwards onto the road, as the rider increases the throttle to escape the crowd trying to get hold of them. One of the pillion rider is immediately cornered, pinned to the ground and then beaten with slippers as he tries to cover himself.

In an unprecedented development, the state BJP leadership on Monday decided to take the body of killed party leader Manish Shukla to Raj Bhavan in protest against what it called "the murder of democracy".

West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday expressed his concern over the "alarming situation" in the state after a BJP leader was shot dead in North 24 Parganas district, and said Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee should take note of critical aspects that "run down the democratic governance and lawlessness".

BJP leader Manish Shukla was shot dead on Sunday evening, about 20 km from north Kolkata, when he was speaking with some locals and party workers near a local police station.
