In the viral video, the accused allegedly threatens to “bury the Chief Minister at the border” and physically assault him. The incident has triggered serious concern, especially because it comes shortly after the murder of the Chief Minister’s Personal Assistant, Chandranath Rath, in Madhyamgram of North 24 Parganas district.
Following Rath’s death, security around the Chief Minister has been significantly tightened. Although Suvendu Adhikari already receives ‘Z’ category security cover from the Central Government, additional deployment of state police and central forces has now been arranged to strengthen protection.
