Three people are arrested in connection with an assault in Bengal after the father of a Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) volunteer dies from injuries, multiple outlets report.

Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari denies claims that BJP workers were involved in the attack. The CJP and its leadership reject those allegations and say they will continue to pursue the case. Outlet reporting also indicates CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke states that the organisation is not backing off despite the denial by the state’s leadership.

The accounts converge on the arrests, the death following the assault, and the public dispute over alleged political involvement. Differences across sources centre on how the political contention is presented: one outlet foregrounds the chief minister’s denial, while another pairs it with statements from CJP leadership. Both present the incident as ongoing and tied to broader accusations between political actors and rights-focused groups.
