Hindu Housewife Raped, Murdered in Usthi Market
Whatever
may be the long assurances of police and administration in Bengal
to inflict stringent punishments on Muslim radicals, ever ready to gratify
their lust by outraging Hindu girls and women followed by their murder, the
situation remains unchanged and to sum up, it is getting murkier with the
passing of each day.
Yet
again a brutal rape followed by murder of a Hindu housewife has taken place in
District: 24 Paraganas (South), a district virtually under the siege of
Islamists at the moment, and the hapless Hindu lady, Bishnupriya Halder (age
50), wife of late Sanjit Halder, and also a vegetable seller by profession at
the market in Usthi, used to live in village: Chousa, P.S. Diamond Harbor,
District: 24 Paraganas (South).
Bishnupriya,
it has been learnt, (every day) used to return to her residence between
8.00-8.30 pm from the market in Usthi. But
on the fateful day, April 10, 2013, she didn’t return usually alarming her family
members of an untoward development. And her son and son-in-law began a
desperate search for her promptly but to no avail. They remained unsuccessful
to get hold of her whereabouts.
It
was around 4.30 am, on April 11, 2013, when her naked and slain body with clear
evidences of rape was found out from behind the tyre-repairing shop of Akbar
Khan, adjacent to the shop of Ganesh where Bishnupriya used to keep her
weighing scale each day.
The
discovery was enough to form despair among his son and son-in-law; Hindus who
were informed of the ghastly discovery also raised hue and cry. To subdue fiery
Hindu protests and also to prevent the situation from worsening, a team of
police personnel from P.S.
Diamond Harbor
reached the spot soon. They both seized the slain body of Bishnupriya and
arrested Akbar Khan promptly.
The
revelation of the ghastly incident enraged Hindus in the vicinity such that a spontaneous
road blockade against Islamists and police’s incapacity went on for more than 2
hours at a stretch. Hindu villagers of Chousa, cutting across political
affiliations and age group, took part in the road blockade.
A
team of RAF, to contain any further disturbance, was deployed around Usthi
market before long and several police officials including SDPO, SDO, O.C., S.I.
got busy to restrain angry Hindus.
Police
has assured Hindus of rigorous punishment of Akbar Khan even if a section of
Hindus remain skeptical of the pledge.
Tension
continues to rule the area still.
Hindu Samhati regularly
monitors and reports violations against Hindus in West Bengal. We also work with both
governmental and NGO agencies for proper education on protection and ensure
remedies to the Hindu populace as per prevailing law of the land.
