  "account": "Four individuals have been apprehended by West Bengal Police in connection with the murder of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker in Baruipur, South 24 Parganas district. The accused, including Sujan Mondal, an ex-local BJP leader recently suspended for alleged anti-party and immoral activities, are suspected to have committed the crime over an old enmity. The other suspects identified are Krishna Mondal, Kanak Mondal, and Anil Naiya.\n\nPramanik, the victim, received a phone call from Mondal on Sunday night, requesting him to leave his house. Upon leaving, he was allegedly attacked and murdered. According to Pramanik's family, the murder was a result of rivalry between two factions within the local BJP organization. Sujan Mondal is alleged to be the mastermind behind the killing, and he was reportedly present at the scene when Pramanik was attacked by his associates.\n\nThe police registered a First Information Report (FIR) at Baruipur police station after receiving a complaint from Pramanik's family. Following interrogations, all four suspects were arrested on Tuesday. Police are investigating the motives behind the murder and the extent of involvement of each accused. BJP district leaders, including Uttam Kar, have suggested that the murder was carried out by a group associated with the Trinamool Congress. Kar claims that Pramanik and his family were forced to leave their home for nearly a decade due to his BJP affiliation, and only returned after the recent West Bengal Assembly elections.",
