PTIKolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) summoned Beleghata MLA Paresh Pal of Trinamool on Wednesday to the CGO complex office of the agency in connection with the alleged murder of BJP worker Abhijit Sarkar in Narkeldanga, central Kolkata, in the post-poll violence of May 2021.
The deceased Abhijit Sarkar's elder brother Biswajit Sarkar and his mother had claimed repeatedly that MLA Paresh Pal's associates were involved in the murder.
Biswajit Sarkar alleged, "I have protested in front of the CBI office demanding that the agency take action against Paresh Pal who was directly involved in my brother's murder. The agency officials have called me to discuss the issue."
Meanwhile, the CBI summoned Paresh Pal on Wednesday to question him on the murder.
BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar said, "Abhijit was a victim of post-poll violence and he was brutally murdered by the Trinamool Congress. Action must be taken all the accused."
