 BY A STAFF REPORTER: A day after Gangster-turned-politician's controversial death, West Bengal BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul on Friday prayed for his soul's peace while also acknowledging that he was notorious for his wrongdoings.

She also argued that 60 cases were pending against him and he was convicted in eight of them. "Be it criminal or anyone, everyone deserves justice and I believe that everyone will get justice under CM Yogi Adityanath" She added.

While speaking about the Sandeshkhali and Shahjahan Sheikh's matter, Paul questioned how would a CM (Mamata Banerjee) be penalized for motivating such exploitations by remaining silent.
