The investigation into the murder of Chandranath Rath, close aide of West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, has expanded to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar as police track digital and vehicle-related clues. Investigators traced a UPI payment made from the silver Nissan Micra used in the attack at a toll plaza near Kolkata. Police suspect the killers had prior information about Rath’s seating position inside the SUV and executed the shooting in under a minute near Madhyamgram on May 7. Officials believe at least eight people, including sharpshooters and local associates, were involved in the planned killing. (PC: HT)
