According to sources, Shil left home in Gayeshpur on Saturday (October 31) evening and did not return until the next morning. His family received information about his death after locals found him hanging from a tree in the morning. Police suspected it to be suicide but clarified that the actual cause of death would be ascertained after the post-mortem report.
The BJP tweeted “Bijoy Shil, only aged 34 and an active BJP worker, was murdered and found hanging in Nadia. Same pattern in every murder by the goons. Use of terror to stop the working of BJP? We won’t stop and the BJP will ensure justice for all the murdered workers! These political murders must stop.”

Bijoy Shil’s family, however, said he was not associated with any political party. “None of us is into politics. He was seen with local political leaders. But those were casual chitchat,” a family member said.
