A Trinamool Congress MLA Satyajit Biswas, from Krishnaganj in West Bengal was shot dead on Saturday, 9 February.

BJP leader Mukul Roy was among four people booked on Sunday, 10 February, in connection with the killing of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Satyajit Biswas in West Bengal's Nadia district on Saturday, police said.

Roy, a former TMC general secretary who joined the BJP last year following differences with party supremo Mamata Banerjee, denied the allegation, saying the decision to name him in the FIR was "politically motivated".

A West Bengal Police officer told PTI that two of the four people named in the FIR have been arrested on Sunday.

The two arrested persons – Kartik Mondal and Sujit Mondal – were remanded in 14-days' police custody by the acting additional chief judicial magistrate.
