On December 29, 2013, at 11 am, Banjanharia Charial Block Primary Health Centre in the
village of Banjanharia under the jurisdiction of Budge Budge police station in
24 Paraganas (South) district turned into a battlefield between Hindus and
Muslims following the death of a Muslim youth.
It has come to knowledge, Hakim Sheikh (name changed),
a youth living in the environs, was admitted to the Primary Health Centre (on December
29) with acute chest pain as well as high fever. However, he succumbed to death
unfortunately within the next one hour. But family members of Hakim Sheikh,
alleging wrong medical treatment, ransacked the hospital and even threatened
Sujata Dutta (name changed) of dire consequences. Even if she asked them to go
for post-mortem (if necessary), the irate mob snubbing her went on with the
rampage. The turmoil irritated local Hindus lots as some of them were also
handled roughly within the medical institution. The situation became terrible when
a Hindu youth got involved with a few fierce protesters.
No less than hundreds of Hindus appeared there soon to
teach the violent mob a lesson. But the situation was saved with the timely
intervention of local police. Protesters were made vacate the ground alongside the
hospital without delay. While leaving, Hindus and Muslims were seen to warn
each other. No protester has been arrested yet.
