# Suvendu Adhikari offers job, Rs 10 lakh to dead TMC worker’s wife 2026-08-10T17:47:31+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Monday visited the family of Trinamool Congress worker Birju Keot, who died in police custody on August 8, and announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh and a government job for his wife, Jenny Sharma Keot. Adhikari admitted police negligence was 'clear as daylight' and said a magistrate-level investigation would be conducted. The officer who arrested Keot has been suspended, and the police station chief has been transferred. Former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited the family on Sunday but the family did not meet her, alleging they wanted justice from the administration. During her visit, her vehicle was attacked by locals. Adhikari blamed public anger for the attack, while Banerjee called it a conspiracy. TMC supporters who stayed with Banerjee held protests in Kolkata and the state assembly over the attack. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in - thehindu.com Tags: Mamata Banerjee, police custody death, political violence, Suvendu Adhikari, TMC, West Bengal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/adhikari-offers-job-rs-10-lakh-to-dead-tmc-workers-widow/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
