Ranigunj tastes fiery Hindu resistance
Rape of Hindu school girl, inability
of police to nab Muslim rapists enrages Hindus
What did take place in
Chandannagar, District: Hooghly a few days back is being witnessed in Ranigunj,
District: Burdwan now – fiery Hindu resistance against Muslim radicals’ aggression.
And while abrupt attacks of
Islamists on Hindu processions to celebrate Ram Navami and Mahavir Jayanti in
Chandannagar led to the conflict, in Ranigunj, rape of a Hindu school girl of
Class VI by two Muslim hoodlums on April 29, 2013, caused vociferous protests
of Hindus, marked by the predominance of violence, setting vehicles on fire and
injury of several people including police personnel.
It has been learnt, Hindu school
girl, student of Class VI of Basanti Devi Balika Vidayalaya, was returning from
her school at noon when she was clutched by the two Islamists, Mohammad Rajat Khan and Kaliya Sheikh.
She, then, was made unconscious by using sedative drug, taken to a bush
adjacent to Sasthigaria Park and was ravished ceaselessly. The whole incident
was narrated by the innocent victim only after she regained consciousness,
managed to return to her residence in Haspatalpatti of Purba Collegepara.
Even
if the father and relatives of the girl student tried to file FIR against the
horrific incident, at every time they were snubbed by police citing their
inability to arrest the two Muslim youths, known both as Trinamool Congress
activists and ardent follower of Sohrab Ali, MLA (Trinamool Congress) of
Ranigunj, in the locality.
Finding
no other option, Hindus, calling for immediate arrest of two Muslim culprits, blockaded
National Highway – 60 on Tuesday. The conflict started when police tried to call
the blockade a halt forcefully and also lathi charged to disperse the angry
Hindu mob. Hindus, then, were seen to reiterate that the Muslim rapists must be
handed over to them.
As
part of retaliation against administration’s inactivity to nab the Muslim
culprits and its endeavor to injure innocent Hindus violently, angry Hindu
protesters torched lots of vehicles including a police van. Two party offices of
TMC in the neighborhood were also burnt down.
By
10 pm, it was virtually a street war which became impossible for RAF to contain
even and only when Suresh Chadia (ADCP – Central) and Ajay Prasad (ACP)
approached the area with a large contingent of police force and pleaded with
Hindus to stop, the situation calmed down.
The
Hindu minor girl student, it is reported, has undergone medical tests in
Asansol Sub-divisional hospital.
Even
if two Muslim rapists have been arrested, 15 Hindus have also been taken into
custody.
