MIDNAPORE: Two persons were arrested on Thursday night in connection with the murder of Two Trinamool Congress activists, one of them the husband of a party councillor, at Kharagpur in West Midnapore district.
A police officer said the two - Sanjoy Prasad and Krishna Rao - were arrested from Ghatal in the district as they went to a doctor to treat the hand injury apparently caused by the throwing of bombs and firing during the attack at the TMC councillor's office on Wednesday.
Both the arrested were at one time close to Srinu and apparently fell out over real estate spoils in the area, the officer added.
Srinu Naidu, the husband of Ward 18 TMC councillor of Kharagpur Municipality A Puja, and party activist V Dharma were rushed to a private hospital in Kolkata in a critical condition where they were declared "brought dead" by the doctors after some miscreants opened fire at them inside the party office at Kharagpur.
The two, along with three other TMC workers, were sitting inside the TMC office at Nayakhuli locality of Kharagpur when the misAcreants hurled a bomb and fired at random, police said.
