Chengail Molestation incident update
Protest
against bail of molester grows violent in Chengail
Police
van ransacked; 2 arrested
Following the unexpected release of Mohammad
Lalbabu Munshi (culprit of molesting Shilpi – student of Class IV at Chengail Kiran Sashi Siksha Mandir) and
unwillingness of both school authority and police to ensure safety of girl
students in the locality, simmering anger of people burst out on July
31 morning when local youths brought out a protest march against
brazen developments. Local youths went to both Chengail
Kiran Sashi Siksha Mandir and Chengail
Sri Vidyaniketan High School (opened after Panchayat election and counting) to close down the
two educational institutions as a mark of protest. Even if an examination was
going on in the high school, school authority folded the institution to support
the protest march.
It has been learnt, local police was phoned
repeatedly to be a witness to the protest. But their late arrival proved to be
enough to deteriorate the situation. The infuriated mob terming the late
arrival as reluctance, grew violent and damaged the main gate of Chengail
Kiran Sashi Siksha Mandir within minutes. Police vans couldn't evade this
intense anger as well; windowpane of a police vehicle was damaged.
Then large contingent of police and RAF deployed in the area.
Gourab Dey and Bablu Dhara were arrested by P.S. Uluberia. In evening massive
raids were conducted in houses of Hindu localities of Chengail by police.
Hindus are scared to stay home at night. Situation is tense.
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.
