Will police in Malda wake up and stop Love Jihad now?
On January 7, 2014, at 10 am, Ripa
Mandal (age 17 years) was abducted by Sakim Shiekh (age 22 years) while she was
going to her school. Ripa happens to be the student of Class IX at Mahammadia
High Madrasa Bahadurpur and is the daughter of Atul Chandra Mandal living in Sundartala,
within the jurisdiction of Post Office: Dulugram and Police Station: Kaliachak in
the district of Malda. Sakim, on the other hand, is the son of Khurshed Sheikh inhabiting
the village of Salehpur Dariapur within the same police station’s authority. Even if the police appeared reluctant to deal
with the case, a missing diary was filed on January 8. Once the disinclination
of police was spotted, Atul started to find her daughter out all-alone and
within the next few hours culpability of Sakim Sheikh came forth.
After lots of endeavors, Ripa was
found from the residence of Sakim on January 11. Atul Chandra Mandal went to
Sakim’s residence alone but Ripa was not given to him. Instead, she was
transferred to Nabiul Sheikh, an infamous criminal in the locality, and he
brought Ripa to her residence. It has been learnt, Sakim married Ripa meanwhile
and now Sakim’s family is asking Atul Mandal to recognize the marriage. The
cudgel of responsibility to have Atul’s consent is on Nabiul Sheikh and he has
been warning local Hindus with dire consequences if they dare to stir up public
opinion. Tension prevails the area while local police remains apathetic to the reality.
Locals murmur that this Love Jihad has
become a bane to teenage girls.
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.
