TMC Leader Injured In Shooting
The incident comes just weeks after a TMC leader and his friend were seriously injured in a brazen gun attack in Belgharia. The incident unfolded around 9 PM on March 8 when Vikas Singh, a leader of TMC’s labour cell, was sitting at a tea stall in Ward No. 29.
According to witnesses, two to three assailants arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire, targeting Singh and his friend, Santu. Three rounds were fired — one bullet struck Singh in the waist, while another hit Santu in the arm. The attackers then fired another round in the air before speeding away.
