Mamata Banerjee blames BJP for CEO lynching

The chief executive officer (CEO) of a jute mill was beaten to death allegedly by workers on factory premises after he rejected their demands in West Bengal's Hooghly district on Sunday, an incident that sparked a fresh war of words between chief minister Mamata Banerjee and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). H.K. Maheswari, chief executive officer (CEO) of North Brook Jute Mill at Bhadreswar, neighbouring state capital Kolkata, was beaten up by agitated workers of the factory when he refused to accept their demand for an increase in the weekly working hours so that they are paid more, Hooghly superintendent of police (SP) Sunil Chowdhury said.

The CEO, who suffered serious injuries, was taken to a private nursing home where he succumbed on Sunday afternoon, Chowdhury said. Condemning the incident, the chief minister alleged that it was an act of "CPI(M) and BJP goons", but BJP hit back, accusing the state government of failing to maintain law and order.
