Rafiqul Mollah, elder brother of Safiqul Mollah who was shot at, said "We found my brother lying in a pool of blood. He received two bullet injuries. We have told the police the names of the miscreants whom we saw fleeing on a motorbike and committing the crime. They are all supporters of Kajal Seikh."
Rafiqul also said they were attacked as they belonged to the camp of Gadadhar Hazra, the Trinamool Congress MLA from Nanoor and a close associate of TMC district president Anubrata Mondal.
