While the police claimed that a man found hanging from an electricity tower in West Bengal's Purulia had committed suicide as per the post-mortem examination, a strike called by BJP workers in the district to protest the alleged murder of its party workers hit normal life.

"The body of Dulal Kumar was found hanging from a high-tension tower in Dabha village on Saturday.... a case of unnatural death was recorded and post mortem was done," said Purulia SP Akash Magharia. "In the post-mortem report, the doctors have clearly written that the death has occurred due to asphyxia due to hanging, ante-mortem and suicidal in nature," he told the media. However, senior BJP leaders accused police, the ruling TMC and miscreants of "acting together".
