New Delhi: In a chilling CCTV footage of Birbhum violence that surfaced 14 days after violence broke out in West Bengal’s Rampurhat in Birbhum district, the accused can be seen hurling three consecutive attacks on Trinamool Congress Panchayat leader of Bogtui village, Bhadu Sheikh. 

In the one-and-a-half minute footage, it can be seen that the accused came on a motorcycle and launched three explosive attacks one after the other. The first one was hurled on Bhadu Sheikh, the second one a little away so that security personnel or no one could come to the rescue, and the third one was directly hurled at Bhadu Sheikh.
