Probe so far has revealed that around seven to eight individuals, suspected to be involved in the operation, used a dedicated WhatsApp group to exchange real-time intelligence and coordinate their movements around Rath’s vehicle, officials said.
Adhikari's executive assistant, Rath, was shot dead by bike-borne assailants who intercepted his vehicle near Doltala in Madhyamgram around 10.30 pm on Wednesday, forced it to stop, and opened fire at point-blank range before fleeing.
