Police sources said that Today morning a group of 10 to 12 motor-bike borne miscreants supposedly owing allegiance to a faction of ruling BJP pulled in front of the sweet shop in the ‘Durga Chowmuhuni’ market called ‘Sukh Shanti’.

The miscreants stormed the sweet shop and looked for its owner Tapas Ghosh who is also secretary of the ‘Durga Chowmuhuni’ market but Tapas Ghosh , a leading activist of BJP close to a senior leader of the party had possibly scented trouble well in advance and had fled the shop.

But his unknowing younger brother Prantosh Ghosh who was in the shop was set upon by the miscreants who severely assaulting him and inflicting head injuries .

Unnerved local people who saw the incident managed to send Prantosh to GBP hospital but they failed to identify the attackers as all of them had face-covered helments on.
