A simple UPI payment may point to the killers
Days after Chandranath Rath, Suvendu Adhikari’s personal assistant, was shot at point-blank range in Madhyamgram, investigators say a UPI payment made at a Bally toll booth by the car that tailed his SUV could help lead to arrests. CCTV tracking identified a Nissan Micra that blocked the Scorpio, followed by escape in a red car and a bike. Preliminary findings suggest the vehicles were stolen, with fake number plates and possible shooters brought from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
