2 BJP workers among 11 named in CBI charge sheet for murder of Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari's aide

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a charge sheet against 11 individuals, including two BJP workers, in connection with the murder of Chandranath Rath, a personal aide to West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari. The victims were shot dead in Madhyamgram on May 6, two days after the West Bengal Assembly polls. The CBI alleges that Sagar Sonkar, a BJP worker who previously worked for a rival political party MLA, arranged for the contract to kill Rath, who played a key role in Adhikari's campaign. Six shooters and three middlemen have been arrested, while one accused remains at large. The investigation suggests the plot to eliminate Rath was planned since December 2025, though the execution date shifted repeatedly.
