Middle-aged Kartik Naskar, husband of Daria Panchayat chief Swapna Naskar, was brutally attacked with sharp weapons when he was returning home by motorbike from Tangrakhali and then shot from point blank range by unidentified miscreants at Dariajhari More in South 24 Parganas.
He was declared brought dead by the medics at a local hospital last night.
Eyewitnesses said another person, who was the pillion rider, has been missing since then.
