The Story in Brief
The CBI has filed a chargesheet against 11 people, including two BJP workers, for the murder of Chandranath Rath, an aide to West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari. Rath was shot dead on May 6, two days after the 2026 assembly election results were declared. The accused BJP workers, Sagar Sonkar and his brother Sahib Sonkar, allegedly hired shooters from Uttar Pradesh for the killing. Six shooters and three middlemen have also been arrested. Investigators say the conspiracy began in December 2025. The CBI is also probing the role of an unnamed politician from a rival party.
The Indian Opinion
The political charge is audible. Some will say the CBI is finally getting somewhere, others that it is a selective crackdown. Either way, the motive remains unstated. That is the trouble. Until the probe nails a credible reason, personal enmity, political vendetta, or something else, conspiracy theories will flourish. The real test is not how many are arrested, but whether the chargesheet holds up in court. Watch for the trial's outcome, not just the headlines.
