“The incident took place late Friday night near Mamata Medical Hall, close to Titagarh police station, following a Bijoya Sammilani get-together organised by the local BJP mandal,” the official said.

The injured BJP worker has been identified as Karan Sheth.

“He was initially taken to B.N. Bose Hospital in Barrackpore and later shifted to Sagar Dutta Hospital in Kamarhati after his condition deteriorated,” BJP sources said.
