“After severely attacking Majumdar on August 28 last year, the attackers pinned him down and kicked on his chest. I knew him (Majumdar) since my childhood,” said Barman.
He said that Majumdar suffered multiple fractures in his hands and legs during the attack.
The Trinamool Congress had alleged in a statement that 56-year-old Majumdar was brutally attacked by BJP workers in western Tripura when he had gone to participate in the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad’s foundation day event on August 28 last year.
Subsequently, Majumdar, the younger brother of a BJP state committee member, was shifted to the SSKM hospital in Kolkata where he was undergoing treatment. He passed away on Wednesday morning, the statement had said.
“We demand justice for Majumdar,” the statement added.
Majumdar, a former President of the Tripura unit of NSUI, had joined the Trinamool last year along with several other Congress leaders.
