The Cockroach Janta Party political campaign alleged on Saturday that the father of one of their volunteers in West Bengal’s Bankura district died after being critically injured by Bharatiya Janata Party workers.

The incident took place in Karisunda village of the district’s Indus block. The local police confirmed to Scroll that a person had died. However, they claimed that they were yet to receive a complaint regarding this.

On the other hand, the Cockroach Janta Party alleged that when the volunteer, Abdul, approached the police, they refused to file a complaint.

In a video posted on social media on Thursday, Abdul said he had visited a primary school in Karisunda to conduct a survey as part of the Cockroach Janta Party’s nationwide campaign to improve government schools in villages.

He alleged that BJP workers arrived at his home later that day and assaulted him and his family. His father had sustained an injury on his head.
