TNI Bureau: Debendra Nath Ray, Senior BJP leader and MLA from Hemtabad in Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal, was found hanging near his home under mysterious circumstances. Prima Facie, it looks like a murder. The family and West Bengal BJP also called it a political murder.
The 65-year-old Debendra Nath Ray had contested and won the Hemtabad assembly segment (SC) in 2016 on a CPM ticket, but later switched over to BJP last year after the Lok Sabha polls. However, he did not resign.
“The suspected heinous killing of Debendra Nath Ray, BJP MLA from Hemtabad in West Bengal, is extremely shocking and deplorable. This speaks of the Gunda Raj & failure of law and order in the Mamata Government,” said BJP President JP Nadda.
