Two Arrested in Noapara BJP Leader’s House Shooting Get 10-Day Police Custody

The case highlights concerns over election-day security in West Bengal.

Overview

  • Security cameras recorded two men firing outside BJP district secretary Kundan Singh’s Noapara home late Saturday, raising alarm a day before vote counting.
  • Police said they arrested two suspects and produced them in a Barrackpore court on Sunday, which ordered 10 days of police custody for questioning.
  • Investigators registered cases for firing guns, showing weapons, and issuing threats as they review the CCTV footage and trace the scooter seen in the video.
  • CCTV images and local reports identified the suspects as Akash Choudhary, known as Golu, and Aman Choudhary, both from the Garulia area.
  • BJP leaders accused the men of acting with Trinamool patronage and flagged earlier police inaction, while Trinamool leaders rejected those claims as tensions rise before Monday’s counting.
