West Bengal: Police in West Bengal on Tuesday said that they have arrested two people in connection with the killing of a father and son in the Dhuliyan area of Murshidabad.
The police formed a special team, which included the Special Task Force (STF), the Crime Investigation Department (CID), and district police officers. Additionally, the police have blocked 1093 social media posts for spreading rumours.
An investigation is underway in the case, they added.
Three people were killed in Dhuliyan in the aftermath of mob violence against the Waqf (Amendment) Act in the Murshidabad district, West Bengal Police said. Several vehicles were torched on Friday night.
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury expressed disappointment over the violence and said that Murshidabad is not the way it is being depicted.
“Murshidabad is not the way it is being depicted…I have grown up here; the city is not the way it is being shown…It is very sad to see this. Hindu Muslims have been living here in harmony…” Chowdhury told reporters.
TMC leader Jay Prakash Majumdar accused the BJP of dividing people, stating, these (BJP) people are dividing the society in the name of Hindus and Muslims. What can be worse than this?… “
Meanwhile, a few families affected by the violence in Murshidabad (West Bengal) have migrated to Pakur in Jharkhand, located on the border between the two states.
Recounting the ordeal of the violence, an elderly man broke down into tears. He said, “I don’t really know what happened…I opened my shop in the morning and sat outside. They started hitting the doors, pelting bricks, and eventually broke the doors. There was my television, my mirror, my furniture, 2-3 almirahs, all my money was at my home…We came here the night before yesterday…”
Earlier today, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury met the injured victims of the violence that broke out in Murshidabad during protests against the Waqf Amendment Act on April 11 and slammed the Mamata government for its “silence” when people are “struggling to survive.”
