On February 10, CPI(M) activist Comrade Benu Biswas was openly beaten to death at Kamalpur market place by BJP goons.

A team of MLAs led by Manik Sarkar, CPI(M) Polit Bureau member and comprising Badal Cowdhury, deputy leader of opposition TLA, Tapan Chakraborty, Ratan Bhowmik, Bhanulal Saha, Sahid Chawdhuri, and Sudhan Das visited the house of Com Benu Biswas on February 14 and condoled the bereaved family members.

Manik Sarkar wrote to chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb on February 15 and demanded that a high power inquiry committee be formed to investigate the murder of Com Benu Biswas. He also demanded that the accused named in the FIR of the case must be booked immediately and impartial legal steps must be taken against them. The government must provide security and support to the family of Com Benu Biswas.

Malati Biswas, wife of late Com Benu Biswas said that her husband was a day labourer and had no property. 

A nephew of Com Benu Biswas told the delegation that on February 10, in front of many people his uncle was beaten to death at Kamalpur market place by some BJP goons. After beating him ruthlessly, the assassins left him on the spot. When he was taken to a hospital, the doctor declared him brought dead.  An FIR was launched mentioning the names of the murderers. He said the police is trying to hush-up the case and is trying to frame the case in a different way to establish that it was not at all a murder.

The entire family of Com Benu Biswas have been CPI(M) supporters. The family was subjected to repeated attacks during this regime. Few months back, another member, Bhanu Biswas was mercilessly beaten up by the same gang of the ruling party. He had to take prolonged treatment in the hospital.
