KOLKATA: No garlands, no
wreaths and his body covered with an old tattered sheet. This young man paid
the price for his bravery was murdered in cold blood for standing up to goons
who tried to molest his sisters in Burdwan District of West Bengal.
Victim's sister said, "At 3 in the
morning, 4 men broke into our house and tried to molest me and my sisters. When
my brother intervened, they shot him in the chest. When my parents raised a hue
and cry, they ran away and we couldn't even recognise them." But his death
is making no difference to the authorities in West Bengal.
Neighbour said, "The 2 sisters and their
brother were sleeping in the same room. When they tried to molest the sisters,
the brother opposed them. So they shot him in the chest."
Leave alone arresting his murderers, the West
Bengal Police in the state are still scampering to identify them. Villager
said, "We want stringent action to be taken. This is the third time women
are being brutalised in this area. We demand action but we know that the guilty
are being shielded."
A TV anchor publicly harassed, an actor's
sister stalked, a state level swimmer targeted and now a brave heart shot dead
for protecting his sisters from molesters. Can Mamata still afford to call all
this a political conspiracy?
