The incident reportedly occurred a few days ago when the Alipurduar MP met the BDO to demand compensation for two victims ~ a mother and daughter —who were killed by a wild elephant. According to local sources, when Mr Chourasia allegedly refused to heed the MP’sappeal, MrTigga lost his temper, accusing the official of ignoring legitimate grievances raised on behalf of the victims and tea garden workers.
