Guv expresses anguish over "not handing over BJP leader's body"

Kolkata, Oct 5 (UNI) West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday expressed
his anguish to learn that "Manish Shukla's body has not been handed over now for over
20 hours".
Taking to his twitter handle, " Anguished to gather @KailashOnline that Manish Shukla
dead body not handed over now for over 20 hours. "
" Insensitive approach @WBPolice @MamataOfficial, " he observed.
" Such actions indicate cover up. Time to be civil and fair and bust terror, ' the
Governor stated.
Meanwhile, the Mamata Banerjee Government on Monday ordered a CID probe into
the killing of BJP leader Manish Shukla, even as the opposition saffron brigade demanded
a CBI inquiry and spearheaded a 12-hour industrial Barrackpore shutdown since this
morning.
Motorcycle borne gunmen sprayed bullets on former Titagarh Municipality Councillor
Manish Shukla on Sunday evening at his party office near Titagarh police station.
State BJP president Dilip Ghosh claimed that 12 bullets, four of them, pierced through
the head of the victim.
BJP MP from Barrackpore Arjun Singh claimed that carbine was used to assassinate
his party colleague and his close associate Shukla.
He demanded a CBI probe into the political murder.
Mr Singh claimed that he was also a target in the conspiracy to liquidate the opposition
leaders, particularly those who switched over to BJP from the ruling TMC.
" We do not believe in the probe of state police because many BJP leaders and activists
have been killed and the assailants have not been booked yet," said Mr Singh and Dilip
Ghosh.
Mr Singh claimed that truth will not come out if the state police probed the murder
because whenever a crime happened against the BJP the area went out of CCTV
cameras.
" This time also the same thing happened," claimed Mr Singh, who was flanked by
central security personnel.
" Shukla's murder was pre-planned as he had no body guards and he was shot dead
from point blank range," said Mr Singh.
" Please do not jump to conclusion without proper investigation. Irresponsible
comments on social media tantamount to interference in the investigation. Please refrain
from this," West Bengal Police warned in its Twitter account.
" A person was shot dead last evening in Titagarh area of Barrackpore. Police is
investigating the crime and looking into all possible reasons including personal enmity
because the victim was accused in some cases of murder and attempt of murder," said
the West Bengal Police twitter account.
Meanwhile, BJP national leader Kailash Vijayvargiya, who first visited the bereaved
family, went to the NRS hospital where Shukla's postmortem was held.
