The father of a 25-year-old man, whose mutilated body was recovered near Sreerampore railway station in Hooghly district, today alleged that his son was killed after an altercation with a Trinamool Congress councillor's brother, police said today.
The body of Snehashish Dasgupta, 25, a Kolkata Port Trust goalkeeper, was recovered by Government Railway Police (GRP) from the railway tracks yesterday.
Dolon Dasgupta, his father, has alleged that his son was beaten up and killed by TMC councillor of Ward no. 27, Mousumi Nag and her aides on the night of September 29 (Navami) following an altercation with her brother, an official of Sheoraphuli GRP said.
Dasgupta's father also claimed that a suicide found on Dasgupta's Facebook account was posted by someone else on his behalf, the official said.
Nag's husband and former TMC councillor of Ward no. 27, Pintu Nag, however, rubbished the allegations levelled by Dasgupta's father and demanded an inquiry into the incident, the GRP official said.
Meanwhile, a BJP delegation today visited Dasgupta's house, and gave a "48-hour ultimatum" to police to complete the investigation failing which, they will press for a CBI inquiry, he said.
The GRP has started an investigation into the incident.
