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.
