Kolkata/Jaynagar, Jan 4: A 68-year-old man, who had appeared for SIR hearing with a cannula inserted in his nose after being discharged from a hospital, died in Kolkata, triggering a political storm, with the TMC blaming anxiety over voter-roll revision as the cause of his death and the BJP dismissing the charge as “drama”.
Nazitul Mollah, a resident of Uttar Thakurechak area under the Gardeowani gram panchayat in South 24 Parganas’s Jaynagar, breathed his last on Saturday night. “He was unwell for a long time, but the hearing notice pushed him into extreme anxiety. Ignoring his physical condition, he went for the hearing with a tube in his nose. The stress and travel took a toll he could not survive,” a family member said. (PTI)
