Former Congress Leader and Son Shot Dead in West Bengal's Nadia DistrictPreviousNext

In West Bengal's Nadia district, former Congress leader Anis Ur Rahman and his son Abu Sufian Rahman were allegedly shot dead near the Nagadi railway crossing while returning from the Congress office. The victims died at the scene, prompting heavy police deployment to maintain order. The family suspects political rivalry involving the husband of a local Trinamool Congress panchayat chief, though this remains unconfirmed. Authorities are investigating the attack, reviewing CCTV footage, and searching for suspects amid concerns over political violence in the area.
