"Three persons died on spot including my driver Babu Molla and associate Safiuddin Khan. It was clearly a planned attack and I was the target. I had a narrow escape because I suddenly changed my mind and got down at the party office. I have already spoken to my party leaders and the police. It is too early to say who is behind the attack,†the Indian Express quoted Biswanath Das as saying.Â
