MALDA, Jan. 25: A Congress worker was shot at allegedly by a group of CPI-M workers today. The goons allegedly attacked the father of the sabhadhipati of Malda zilla parishad at Shersahi under Kaliachak police station this afternoon. The angry Congress workers blocked the road at Shersahi Bazaar demanding the arrest of CPI-M workers who attacked them. Tension gripped the area after the incident.
Police rushed to the spot but failed to pacify them. According to sabhadhipati Mrs Sabina Yeasmin: “Three CPI-M workers opened fire at my father. My father escaped but another worker was hurt.”
The sabhadhipati's father, Mohd Akramtullaha, said that the attackers fired four rounds at him but he managed to escape. The worker who was shot at, Akramul Hoque, was admitted to Kaliachak block health centre at Silampur this evening. The CPI-M district secretary, Mr Jiban Moitra, refused to comment saying he would have to verify the information before commenting on it.
It was learnt that there was a dispute over the rights of a plot of land which currently belongs to a Congress family. Another group had been eyeing the plot of land for long. No one has been arrested in this connection so far. The goons fled the area after the incident. n SNS
