Kolkata, June 23 : Two persons, including a Congress candidate for the West Bengal panchayat polls were arrested by police on Friday in connection with the murder of Dhananjay Choubey, the Trinamool Congress's Adra town president in Purulia district.
Choubey was shot from point blank range while he was at the party office on Thursday evening.
The two arrested persons have been identified as Arshad Hossain and N.D. Jamal. Hossain is contesting as a Congress candidate in the state panchayat elections scheduled on July 8.
State Congress leader and Calcutta High Court counsel Kaustav Bagchi claimed that the arrest had been a conspiracy hatched by the district police in connection with the ruling Trinamool Congress.
