00:00Food breaking coming on India today.
00:02Ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned because what I'm going to tell you is the evidence.
00:05We're not just speaking hearsay about the bike that was recovered by the investigators.
00:10Here's that visual of the CCTV when the two bike riders were chasing the car of Chandranath Raj.
00:18Alright, here's the visual. Look at this.
00:20We're also ensuring, following full protocols and guidelines to not show the shootout part of the video.
00:26These are the two bikes, one of which has been recovered by the investigators.
00:30Another, they are still tracking.
00:31So these two men, and interestingly, they are not masked.
00:34So it shouldn't be very difficult to be able to nab them from what I can see.
00:38So these two bike riders here, one waiting for another one.
00:43Together they followed.
00:44One is also on the mobile phone, possibly tracking and checking the location.
00:48The vehicle of Suvendu Adhikari's close aide, Chandranath Raj, is first.
00:52You can see the car passing and that is when the bike riders start to follow them.
00:56They clearly knew that he's going to track, he's going to be on this route.
01:00They were tracking it.
01:01They chase him.
01:02They blocked the vehicle and then multiple shots were fired.
01:05About 10 rounds were fired at Chandranath Raj, who received grievous injuries, eventually multi-organ failure and then succumbed to
01:12the injuries.
01:12But this is the first visual that we have got on India today to help you understand what does it
01:18mean.
01:19So these were the two bike riders.
01:21And this is the vehicle of Chandranath Raj, the close aide of Suvendu Adhikari in that vehicle.
01:26One person stops briefly to wait for another.
01:30They're on the mobile phone and then they go.
01:32So we'll try and get more details, but this is the first time that the visual of CCTV on your
01:37screens and in an area where perhaps there should be more of these digital evidence to be able to nab
01:44them.
01:44Because it's such a disturbing incident that has happened, not just about the fact that he was known to Suvendu
01:49Adhikari, but a murder like this, so open and on the streets.
01:53I'm joined by Tapas on that.
01:55Tapas, take us through this visual again.
01:56And tell us the details, how are the investigators going to use some of this and more videos, I'm sure,
02:01that can become solid evidence.
02:03Here you can clearly see the car first passes on the street and then followed by these two men.
02:10Well, Sipuja, this particular exclusive footage that was accessed clearly shows that two assailants were behind the car of Chandranath
02:19and there was another car that was moving slowly.
02:22It was very clear that the front car was trying to slow down the speed of Chandranath's car.
02:28And while the car slowed down, these two assailants on two motorcycles went ahead and they diagonally intersected the Chandranath
02:38vehicle.
02:40And they diagonally intersected and they got down from the motorcycle and from the left side, one of the assailants
02:46went on to fire indiscriminately from point blank range at Chandranath, Roth.
02:51And also, as a collateral damage, the driver had also sustained injury.
02:57So these are very, very crucial evidence as far as this investigation is concerned.
03:03The police is looking into this and trying to identify the identity of these two assailants, who they were.
03:11And after submitting this sign, after firing, the driver of the four-wheeler in the front car and the two
03:18assailants, who came on two other different motorcycles, ran away in two separate motorcycles.
03:24And one of the motorcycles was retrieved today.
03:27Says this was a pre-planned murder done by TMC goons.
03:31The TMC counters the charge, saying this is being deliberately done by the Bharatya Janata Party itself to give a
03:36bad name to the TMC.
03:37So the political rhetoric is on, but one fact is clear for Bengal.
03:42Errors may change, but post-election violence continues.
03:46There may be a difference in margin.
03:47However, deaths are still being reported.
03:50This is going to be a big test for the Bengal police to be able to crack down on this
03:54murder case.
