India: TMC worker killed in West Bengal's Malda district, BJP blamed

Kolkata, Sept 14 (PTI) A 40-year-old Trinamool Congress worker was found dead in West Bengal's Malda district, police said on Monday.

The deceased was identified as Subodh Pramanik, a wood trader. He was a resident of Habibpur village in the district, they said.

Pramanik's body was found near his agricultural land where he had gone on Sunday evening, police said.
