BJP worker beaten up, burned for attending Amit Shah's rally
BJP worker Bishnu Choudhury claimed that on Wednesday he was taken to a local club and then tortured for attending BJP chief Amit Shah's rally in Kolkata on Sunday.
"The group assaulted me and then one of them pressed burning cigarettes against my chest to write the letters 'TMC'. Then they took me home. Inside my house, they threatened me at gunpoint and warned me not to lodge a complaint with the police," Choudhury was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
Local TMC leaders have denied their involvement in the incident, reports said.
