MALDA, Aug 26: Tension prevails at Babupur village under English Bazaar police station after the murder of a CPI-M worker last night. Ali Hossain (35), a local poultry trader, was hacked to death by a group of five to six goons last night, police said. When the villagers found the body this morning local CPI-M workers alleged that the goons who killed him belonged to Congress. Ali Hossain was threatened with dire consequences when the Congress came to power in Panchayat, they claimed. “Trouble broke out due to some business deal but we can not rule out political reasons behind the incident,” said Mr Satyajit Bandyopadhayay, Malda SP. Family members of Ali Hossain lodged a complaint with police against eight people. Police arrested one of them belonging to Congress. When the incident came to light this morning, the local reporters got information that a ‘notorious’ criminal was lynched at Babupur under Narhatta gram panchayat. Another section of local reporters got information that reacting to Ali Hossain's ‘indecent’ proposal to a woman, he was killed. Local CPI-M leaders claimed that Ali Hossain was an active worker of their party and local Congress workers had targeted him. The Congress MLA in English Bazaar Mr KN Choudhury claimed that the motive behind the killing was business dispute among them and it was not related to any political issues.
