Controversy Surrounds Tragic Deaths at Khejuri Religious Event

Two individuals were reported dead at a religious event in Khejuri, West Bengal. While BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari accused a TMC leader of orchestrating their deaths, local police attributed the incident to an accidental fall of halogen lamps. The controversy has stirred political tensions in the region.

The tragic deaths of two individuals at a religious event in West Bengal's Khejuri area have ignited a political battle between BJP and TMC leaders. Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has accused a TMC leader among seven individuals of involvement in the deaths.

Contrary to Adhikari's allegations, police reports attribute the fatalities to an accident involving halogen lamps that fell from a lightpost. The police stated that the exact cause will be determined postmortem, thus dismissing the claim of murder.

This incident has intensified political discord, with local TMC leader Uttam Barik accusing Adhikari of exploiting the tragedy for political gain. Both parties await further clarity as they brace for the postmortem results.
