TMC Worker Killed in Malda Shooting, Two Others Injured

The attack during a road inauguration event highlights escalating violence and alleged infighting within the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal.

Hasa Sheikh, a local Trinamool Congress worker, was killed in a shooting during a road inauguration ceremony in Malda's Kaliachak area.
TMC local unit chief Bakul Sheikh and his brother Esaruddin Sheikh were critically injured in the attack and are undergoing treatment.
Eyewitnesses and initial investigations suggest the attack may be linked to internal conflicts within the ruling TMC party.
This is the second high-profile killing of a TMC leader in Malda this month, following the murder of councillor Dulal Sarkar on January 2.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident, with one person detained for questioning, while the community remains tense over rising political violence.
