SHarpening its assail on the Election charge and the BJP on the supply of SIR, the Trinamool u.s. Congress on sabbatum claimed that another person from West Bengal died allegedly due to fear of being declared a non-citizen if his name did not appear in the 2002 electoral rolls.Taking it to the social media platform X, the TMC said that the person who lost his life was a migrant worker named Bimal Santra from Nabagram village under Jamalpur in West Bengal’s Purba Bardhaman district. "Another precious life lost to @BJP4India's politics of fear and hatred," the party said, without giving details of the circumstances of Santra's death or citing any police confirmation. The post also stated that in a few days, two similar deaths had occurred, including 57-year-old Pradeep Kar of Panihati, who died by suicide and blamed the NRC in his note and the second of a 63-year-old man from Jitpur, “who attempted to take his life, terrified of harassment under the SIR process," the TMC said.The party also mentioned 95-year-old Khitish Majumder of Kotwali in Paschim Medinipur, who was living with his daughter in Ilambazar and ended his life."The latest instance is that of Bimal Santra… who died of fear sparked by SIR," the post said.Also read: SIR in Bengal: TMC, BJP move ECI accusing each other of threatening BLOsCalling SIR an exercise “designed to terrorise and displace,” the post said that it is a tool that is used to intimidate people and drive them to despair.Santra’s family told reporters that he had moved to Tamil Nadu after being left jobless and was admitted to the hospital after his health deteriorated.
