Terrible struggle in Joynagar saves Hindu housewife from molestation
Mrs. Manu Naskar (25 year old), wife of Kartik Naskar, is a
resident of Nimpith village under Block – II of Joynagar police station in 24
Paraganas (South) district. On 9th August
at around 8:30 pm,
she was returning from Nimpith market where the couple owns a retail garments
store. Once Manu reached Ramkrishna Ashram Krishi Vigyan Kendra,
Nimpith, she noticed that 3 youths, who were later identified as Muslims, were
following her on a motorbike. Soon, they grabbed one end of her sari and also
molested her. Sensing trouble, she called the local youth activist of Hindu
Samhati, Kripa Sindhu Halder, for help while the miscreants parked their
motorcycle a few yards away and advanced towards a petrified Manu. Halder
gathered few of his friends and rushed to the spot and found helpless Manu
Naskar encircled by the miscreants.
After saving the victim, Halder went to the local C.I. office and
sought help of RAF personnel stationed there. They also joined the local
brigade of resistance youth group and got hold of two of the culprits. RAF
personnel thrashed both of them and submitted them to Joynagar police station.
A complaint in this regard was lodged at 11 pm. However, in order to impede the legal procedures more
than 150 Muslims youths of nearby Purkaitpara, Hagurepara and Mistripara
localities attacked Halder and his associates. To protect themselves, local
Hindus raised a strong defense and finally became successful in overpowering
the assailants. In the ensuing brawl, 2 Muslim youths got unconscious and were
admitted to Nimpith
Hospital . Later on, the
condition of one of the injured worsened and was transferred to Satyajit
Nursing Home in Joynagar and is reportedly still there. The other one was
released on the following day. However, Abul Basher Mullah, local leader of
minority cell of Trinamool Congress (TMC), and Ghototkoch Halder, another
leader of TMC and also an ex-member of local Block, managed to release of two
arrested youths from Joynagar police station on personal bonds on the next
day. Nevertheless, tension prevails in the locality yet and chances of
troubles are rising.
