Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has condemned the murder of Chandranath Rath, personal assistant to senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, who was killed late on 6 May in Madhyamgram, North 24 Parganas (a district in West Bengal). Gupta called the killing deeply concerning for law and order and democratic values, vowing that no BJP worker's "sacrifice" would go in vain. A Special Investigation Team has been formed and forensic experts have examined the scene, as the killing intensifies scrutiny of political violence in a state with a long history of such incidents.
