On October 29, 2020, the BJP called a 12-hour bandh and protested against a party worker's death in West Bengal's Bagnan assembly constituency.Violence, scuffle, and clashes had been reported across the Howrah district's Bagnan area after a BJP party worker was allegedly shot dead. On October 24, Majhi was shot in Howrah; he was first taken to Uluberia Hospital and then to Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. Majhi succumbed to his bullet injuries on October 28. The BJP called for a 12-hour strike over Majhi's death and blamed TMC for orchestrating the attack. Due to this incident, the party workers started rallies where the shopkeepers were forced to close shops.

The party was not allowed by the police to organize a peace march that was scheduled towards Majhi's house. So, BJP workers surrounded the local police station, burnt tires, and raised slogans against the TMC. The protesters were dispersed by the Rapid Action Force (RAF) and combat forces. The state BJP's Yuva Morcha President and the Bishnupur MP Saumitra Khan went inside the Bagnan police station to discuss the situation. Khan and others were allowed by the police to visit Majhi's house. Rana Mukherjee, additional superintendent of Howrah (rural) police, said, "There has been no effect of the bandh. Police will take action if anyone tries to disrupt public life, violate the law, and break COVID-19 restrictions.''
