Kolkata News Update:<\/strong> An old man from Agarpara in North 24 Parganas committed suicide as a result of “NRC panic,” which caused a disturbance in Mahajati Nagar, Agarpara locality, when his body was found hanging on Tuesday morning. A note was recovered at the deceased’s residence, reading, “The NRC is responsible for my death.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP on social media, saying, “57-year-old Pradeep Kar from 4 Mahajyoti Nagar, Panihati, Khardaha (Ward No. 9) has taken his own life, leaving behind a note that says, “NRC is responsible for my death.” What greater indictment can there be of the BJP\u2019s politics of fear and division?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deceased has been identified as Pradeep Kar, according to local reports. On Tuesday, his body was discovered hanging in his house. Pradeep was born and raised in West Bengal, according to relatives and other sources. His father, though, was born in Bangladesh. Blaming BJP Mamata Banerjee wrote on X (Formerly Twitter), “It shakes me to the very core to imagine how, for years, BJP has tormented innocent citizens with the threat of NRC, spreading lies, stoking panic and weaponizing insecurity for votes. They have turned constitutional democracy into a draconian law-regime, where people are made to doubt their own right to exist. This tragic death is the direct consequence of BJP\u2019s venomous propaganda.”<\/p>\n\n\n
