Kolkata, New Delhi, INDIA. New York, USA.
Business To Business, Kolkata, 7th May, 2026: Chandranath Rath, the close aide of Suvendu Adhikari who was shot dead in North 24 Parganas, had followed an unusual journey—from serving in the Indian Air Force to becoming one of the BJP leader’s most trusted political associates.
Rath, 41, hailed from Chandipur in Purba Medinipur, the political stronghold closely associated with Adhikari’s rise in Bengal politics, according to party sources.
Soft-spoken and low-profile, Rath largely stayed away from public attention despite being part of Adhikari’s inner circle for several years.
