Harmed and innocent Alok Singha of Shantipur arrested

Denoting a startling development, Alok Singha of Singha family, inhabitants of Ramnagar Para, P.S. Shantipur, District: Nadia, who became subject to dreadful attacks of the adjacent notorious family of Jakat Sheikh on 13/07/11 for protesting against their dumping garbage in the common lane and thus to annoy Hindus, has been arrested. It has come to the knowledge that Alok was arrested just as he stepped out of Shantipur State General Hospital. Sections imposed on Alok Singha include 307/325/326.

The approach of the administration, in this regard, is highly appalling.

The previous report has already been issued in our blog (http://southbengalherald.blogspot.com/2011/07/hindus-wounded-brutally-in-nadia-to.html) and briefly, the fracas started when on 13/07/11, at 5 pm, family members of Jakat Sheikh were witnessed to dump garbage (having stinking smell) in the lane and pollute the neighborhood yet again. When Asok Singha did protest, he was thrashed heavily. Other members of the family including Alok were also not spared and hence, they were admitted to local hospital.

Singha family lodged an FIR (Case no. 509 dated 13/07/11) against Sheikh family members but there has not been any arrest yet and three sons of Jakat Sheikh are allegedly on the run. Why have the police failed to get hold of them?

Another important issue is there. During a talking between Officer-in-Charge of P.S. Shantipur and this scribe, attended by a few others, on 14/07/11, he admitted in full sense that the family of Jakat Sheikh was ill-famed to the local police and administration also whereas Singha family had always been decent.

How can police arrest Alok Singha, proven as decent to administration already, then?

Hindu Samhati meeting in Hotor ushers new era of Hindu strength

That the Hindus in the Indian state of Bengal have started to comprehend the steady rise of Islamic fundamentalism and what would come out if it remains unrestrained can be found from the escalating Hindu awareness programs under the aegis of Hindu Samhati in various parts of the state and mounting partakers in those. Hindu Samahti workers’ meeting on 24/07/11 in Adarsha Junior School in Hotor, Block: Mograhat, P.S. Mograhat, Dist: 24 Paraganas (South), depicted the same conviction and laid emphasis on an assortment of pertinent subjects. The dais was shared by Swami Punyalokananda, Amaresh Mukherjee, Dinabandhu Gharami and others.

While speaking Amaresh Mukherjee, well-known teacher in the environs, highlighted the perennial plights tormenting the larger Hindu society for centuries, if not more. He stated that Hindu Dharma and civilization, from time immemorial, are known for liberalism, sagacity, endeavors to uphold humanity and also self-sacrifices to rescue others. On the word of him, these are greatest virtues, glaring exceptions in the global scenario, but unless, strength and virile Hindu organizations are achieved and created, Hindus can’t triumph and also exist any more.

Swami Punyalokananda of Ramkrishna Mission opened his address through focusing on the basics of Hinduism and the need for Hindus to get acquainted with those more and more. He made it clear unless Hindus get conversant of these no Hindu movement, however brawny and ideological it is initially, can develop, sustain and succeed ever. While exemplifying all these, revered Swami ji was chanting sanctified Slokas from different Hindu scriptures propelling the assembled crowd much.

Dinabandhu Gharami, senior leader of Hindu Samhati, expressed that it’s the time to know Islam well and hence, reading of Koran, basics of Islam, must be made compulsory for Hindus. He stated clearly that inhuman dearth of knowledge about Islam had been the greatest curse for Hindus and their nonchalance, in this regard, too led to their series of defeats by Islamic zealots.

Animitra Chakraborty, journalist, started his speech by narrating own experiences while combating Islamic forces on various issues ranging from disputes over land to forcible seizure of Hindu properties and the rising Love Jehad. He was witnessed to state Hinduism and Islam are completely two antagonistic ideals and one has got to remain devouring the other. This has always been the reality and the earlier Hindus comprehend this, change mindset and turn into a warring community, the better it is.

Hindus, as indicated by him, have been in a state of war with Islam from the fall of King Dahir in 712 AD and its must be asserted at every moment. He also underlined the need of a distinctive, self-determining Hindu polity, free of sermons of Hindu temples and monastic orders, to uphold and sustain Hindu interest all the time.

Durgapur Ashram destruction raises Hindu woes

The extensive belief that industrial centers or metropolises of India detest to be bastions of secularism gets a jolt in Durgapur, premiere industrial city of Indian state of Bengal, Dist: Burdwan, when a Hindu ashram (hermitage) became subject to wild assaults of Islamic tormentors on 21 May.

On the fateful day, a widespread carnage took place in the ashram leading to grievous injury of the priest.

In accordance with local sources, a few Muslim thugs, backed by various political echelons, were trying to impede affairs of the ashram in every manner. It is worthwhile to mention, the ashram has turned out to be the citadel of worshiping Bajrangbali in the environs for the last few years. The adoration has become a major issue to attract copious numbers of local Hindus by now and all these, it is needless to say, have irked Muslims, dead set against Hinduism ever, to a large extent

On the word of Fakirananda Maharaj, venerable hermit of the ashram, and Saddhi Anima Das, a trivial issue led to a fracas between Muslim youths and members of ashram a few days ago. This led to wild assaults of Islamic cronies- almost 20 of them came to the ashram and ransacked it straight away. A young Hindu man, named Bhola, came to the rescue but he was also badly beaten.

Ashram authority has lodged an FIR to the local police station in this regard.

Sheikh Ismail leads brutal Muslim mob to slay Hindus in Gangasagar

Agrarian conflicts regarding vested lands are not new in West Bengal but the violence and hatred shown by Islamic miscreants, under the auspices of Sheikh Ismail, nefarious CPM leader, on 16/07/11 against Hindus in Gangagsagar, P.S. Sagar, in this context, is not only horrific but raises several questions also at the same instant. The bloody whacking of Hindus has revealed the ugly face of Islamic fundamentalism yet again and in particular of Sheikh Ismail, uncrowned king of the locality owing to his affluence, authority and nefarious activities. Without doubt, it has also illustrated how reigning Trinamool Congress (TMC) is wretched in the same area. Here is the first question. Has it started to hobnob with Sheikh Ismail being helpless?

Every tale has its own beginning and here, even the beginning has also its own beginning that dates back to the time when then omnipotent CPM had the policy of distributing vested lands. As per records, 250 bigha of vested land was distributed under control of Sheikh Ismail in the locality. Nevertheless, affluent Muslim families were also beneficiaries of the project while remaining part was distributed among underprivileged Muslim and Hindu families. All these led to sustenance of Muslim power in the environs.

Ascension of TMC to power in Bengal and its decision to change earlier status of 250 bigha of vested land in the surroundings, i.e. to take lands enjoyed by landholders instead of wretched ones and distribute those among poor people, appeared to be unbearable for Sheikh Ismail. Following the party decision, fervent TMC activists planted party flags in those lands, torn by followers of Sheikh Ismail repeatedly.

TMC activists, hailing from adjoining villages and championing the same cause, held several meetings in the vicinity and were sheltered by local Hindu families. Hindus were recognized as foremost enemies by Sheikh Ismail and his gang. To call these activities a halt, Sheikh Ismail held a meeting on 15/06/11 at night.

On 16/07/11, at 7.30 am, a contingent of almost 40 Muslim assailants, led by Sheikh Basit, brother of Sheikh Ismail, attacked residence of Amulya Das, one of those who provided shelter to TMC activists. The house was ransacked, turned into rubbles and his daughter-in-law Sulekha Das, age 25 years, was dragged outside. She was molested, her dress was torn and after that she was beaten heavily. Amulya Das was not spared; he was slammed violently and his fingers were also broken.

Hearing all these, a few Hindus, TMC workers at once, rushed to the spot. Assailants left the spot already. However, when (around 10 am) they were spotted near Gangamandir, Hindu youths struck back leading to injuries of a few attackers. The situation calmed down as a result and Hindus moved back. Little could they imagine the aftermath at that time.

At 10.30 am, Hindus learnt that Hindu properties, houses and valuables were being destructed and plundered by the same assailants. This time too they rushed to the spot but got awestruck perceiving trigger-happy postures among assailants, presence of lethal weapons with them and wholehearted support and presence of their womenfolk there, using lethal weapons like Katari, Chopper (rural weapons) and chilly powder simultaneously.

Seeing Hindu men the gang simply pounced on it leading to grave injuries of all. One of them is Sushit Maity, age 31. A chopper was applied on him and accordingly, his nose was cut in two pieces almost. He, at the moment, is fighting with death. Lalu Das, age 30, was also attacked with chopper and his hand got severely wounded. To take flight from sure death all he could do was to jump in a nearby pond. But Muslim attackers were last to leave him; they also jumped into water with swords and Lalu was roughly severed. His condition is grave at the moment.

Gopal Mandal, age 28, became wounded when an iron rod was slammed on his head. Panchanan Pramanik, age 31, got injury in chest. He is fractured currently and bleeding from inner side of his cheek is unstoppable still. All of them are in Kolkata Bangur Hospital while Sulekha Das, her father-in-law and another villager have been admitted to GangasagarRudranagar Health Center.

It must also be said that a few Muslim TMC supporters arrived at that time but perceiving intensifying violence, allegedly they fled out of fear. Is this is one and only reason? Or were they disinclined to fight against their fellows?

Some of the assailants are Sheikh Ismail, Sheikh Basit, Sheikh Bhogu along with others. But non of them has been arrested yet and hence, all of them are roaming freely at the moment. Police, as per latest information, has declined to register separate FIR s from both sides, and has filed a joint FIR against riot.

But some questions are yet to be unanswered. Bankim Hazra, present TMC MLA of Sagar Assembly Constituency, is yet to adopt any valorous measure to put an end to the fracas and apply shackles to Sheikh Ismail. Notably, Sheikh Ismail was responsible to lead a brutal Muslim mob and attack HS workers in Gangasagar on 12 June 2008.

Is roaring TMC helpless before Sheikh Ismail in Gangasagar?

Why is Bengal’s reigning administration inimical to Hindus in Gouranganagar?

There was a hope that fierce struggles of Hindus, residing in Gouranganagar Udvastu Colony, P.S. New Town, District: 24 Paraganas (North), against local Muslim cronies, backed by various political echelons, erupting on 07/07/11 resulting in arrests of two innocent Hindu youths (reported here earlier) would end soon confirming to a settlement program under the aegis of administration. But contrary to expectation, situation has got murkier due to abrupt arrests of innocent Hindus in the vicinity and the victim families are suffering worst.

One of the prime victims has been Bhabasindhu Mandal, deputy head of Panchayat No. 2 (Jangra – Hatiara area) and in spite of being innocent (admitted by a few police officers later secretly), he was arrested on 14/07/11 from his sister’s residence in Malangapara, Swarupnagar, P.S. Swarupnagar. The role of police, in this case, was shocking as the contingent was witnessed to use abusive languages and make lewd gestures to women. To make the operation a success, three policemen from P.S. New Town, 1 police person from P.S. Swarupnagar, (all were in plain clothes) and two other persons from environs of Gouranganagar, identified as Bapan Ghosh and another one from Jabardakhal, were present.

The team, on 14/07/11 at 7.00 pm, just broke in his sister’s residence, dragged Bhabasindhu out and thrashed him mercilessly. Bapan Ghosh and his aforesaid accomplice warned the entire household unless Bhabasindhu’s cell phone was forked out to them, family members would face dire consequences. Milan Mandal, husband of Bhabasindhu Mandal’s sister, was later forced to sign a document, allegedly stating Bhabasindhu was arrested from his house. The document was written in English language and Milan is yet to comprehend this language. He, as a result, and also coerced by police personnel’s presence, signed the document without knowing its content.

Well, Bhabasindhu is not alone; apart from him, 4 others including Arup Mandal, Gobordhan Mandal, Dipankar Mandal, Amit Mandal have been arrested. FIR registered by police against them – 245 dtd. 09/07/11 and sections imposed included 243/239/325/427/34.

While talking to this scribe, residents of the colony termed every arrest was based on flimsy grounds and was done owing to administrative pressures. Furthermore, as stated by them, Nag Babu, notorious policeman of P.S. New Town, also liable for terrorizing and arresting innocent Hindus, has been transferred all of a sudden. They’re certain that this is a ploy to shroud Nag Babu’s heinous role in torturing Hindus following the turmoil on July 07, 2011.

It is worthwhile to mention that Bhabasindhu, after being arrested, was not handovered to P.S. New Town promptly. Hindu rage and its mounting resistance compelled police to take him to P.S. East Bidhannagar in Salt Lake. All 5 accused were presented to the court later on; they are in Central Jail, Dumdum at the moment.

An FIR (44/54 dtd. 09/07/11) by Hindus from Jangra – Hatiara area was lodged to P.S. New Town against Bikash Goldar and Ganesh Seal (Hindu refugees from Bangladesh originally but are now hobnobbing with Islamic miscreants to torture Hindus). Fearing their own securities, due to fiery Hindu resistance in the environs, both have surrendered to police and are also in Central Jail, Dumdum these days.

Meticulous investigation of this scribe has also revealed another horrific torture on Hindus, especially the Mandal family. Two Hindu youths of the family – Sukumar Mandal & Sunil Mandal – naive and lacking any connection to the syndicate, were arrested at 1 am on July 08. In accordance with Banalata Mandal and Sarmistha Mandal, wife of Sunil Mandal and Sukumar Mandal, respectively, a group containing 10 policemen from P.S. New Town tried to barge in the residence and break the collapsible gate at dead night.

When Sarmistha, already scared, came to front, she was ordered to open the gate. As soon as it was opened, policemen gate-crashed, molested Sarmistha, Banalata and others, tore their blouses, grabbed Sukumar and Sunil, thrashed them horrifically, took them to the police van and then to the police station. No woman police person was in the group.

Don’t these facts ascertain reigning administration is inimical to Hindus?

Hindus wounded brutally in Nadia to protest dumping of garbage by vicious Muslims

There is no need of a big or controversial issue to stimulate Muslims to torment Hindus any longer. These days, dumping of garbage by a Muslim family in lane and Hindu protests against it can also lead to wild assaults on Hindus and all any disbeliever of this reality can do is to look into anguishes of Singha family, longtime and influential inhabitant of Ramnagar Para, P.S. Shantipur, District: Nadia. 4 members of the family became subject to violent attacks of a neighboring Muslim family, dumping garbage in the common lane just to annoy them, on 13/07/11.

Here is a brief account of the horrific development on the fateful day. It must be said, before anything, that the neighboring Muslim family of Jakat Sheikh, known as notorious in the neighborhood and also to the administration, was dumping garbage in the lane for days, at a stretch, just to annoy the Hindu dominated area, especially the Singha family. Ramnagar Para contains at least 300 Hindu households against 10-12 Muslim families.

On 13/07/11, at 5 pm, family members of Jakat Sheikh were witnessed to dump garbage (having stinking smell) in the lane and pollute the neighborhood yet again. When Asok Singha, elder son of Singha family, protested against it, he was scolded and also manhandled by members of Sheikh family. To stop the fast worsening situation, Alok Singha, Ashok’s younger brother, interfered and was beaten heavily. Swapan Singha and Rama Singha, uncle and aunt of Asok and Alok respectively, also became subjects to Islamic tortures. The team of assailants included Jakat Sheikh, his three sons – Madan Sheikh, Khusu Sheikh and Khokon Sheikh.

According to witnesses, women of Sheikh family participated in the assaults on Hindus too. Lethal weapons like iron roads and Ramda (country made long dagger) were used to torture Hindus at random. The situation has shocked the neighborhood, it’s needless to say.

An FIR (Case no. 509 dated 13/07/11) has already been registered but there has not been any arrest yet. While Jakat Sheikh, victim of his own son’s brutal rod wielding activity, is in hospital, his three sons are on the run.

Hindus are getting united to stop all these nefarious activities. Police is patrolling the area.

Ashok Santra’s horrid death in Srinagar depicts Hindu fate in India best

This is a gruesome tale and revolves around the incomprehensible and shocking death of Ashok Santra, resident of village Santoshpur, P.S. Jangipara, District: Hooghly, West Bengal, in Srinagar. The death, to be precise, is not normal at all and a few creepy and unanswerable questions (regarding death) perplexing the neighborhood manifest horrendous situation Hindus in India face these days. It is to be noted that Ashok Santra, s/o Mohan Santra and father of two little daughters, was a worker in a local jewelry shop and as per locals, his professional expertise was highly admirable.

Sheikh Muzaffar, longtime friend of Ashok and also engaged in the same industry, owns a jewelry shop in Srinagar, capital of the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir. He made a proposal to Ashok – to handle the shop in Srinangar, pay him a set amount of money every month and have rest of the income as his own. Considering the proposal quite mouth-watering, Ashok went to Srinagar on 18/01/11. The following days of Ashok have got to be accepted as good since there was no complaint from his part to the family.

On 12/02/11 at 9 pm Ashok phoned his wife and the talk among the couple centered on casual issues like his preparations for that night’s dinner. After a few moments he said his wife that some of his friends were calling him. And the phone of Ashok was switched off. It was the last communication between Ashok Santra and his family in Bengal.

Next day, 13/02/11, Sukur Ali, brother of Sheikh Muzaffar, informed Ashok’s family that Ashok, getting intoxicated, fell from stairs of a house (close to Ashok’s abode in Srinagar) on last (12/07/11) night, and got heavy injury in his head. He also informed that Ashok’s condition, due to the accident, was at stake. The news was enough to send a shudder through the backbone of Santra family and when Sukur was phoned before long, he asked Ashok’s family members to reach Srinagar without delay.

Ashu Santra, brother of Ashok and also a jewelry worker working in Delhi, was informed by Ashok’s family of the incident soon and he reached Srinagar via plane on 14/02/11. Ashu went directly to Sher-I-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Soura, Srinagar, where Ashok was admitted. He perceived Ashok, alive till then, in a serious condition. Ashu talked to doctors in the medical institution, was informed of seriousness of Ashok’s situation and also that nothing could be said clearly before the next 48 hours. And after next 48 hours, Ashok’s situation worsened further. No friend or well-wisher of Ashok could be found at that time.

On 18/02/11, Sheikh Muzaffar and Khokon Santra, young brother of Ashok, reached Srinagar and both along with Ashu went to the location of said accident (of Ashok Santra). Local people confirmed Ashok’s fall from stairs. However, 3 Hindus there preferred to remain tight-lipped.

On 22/02/11, Ashok Santra succumbed to death at 10.15 am finally. Both of his brothers, Ashu and Khokon, were firm to take Ashok’s deceased body to Santoshpur and their insistence annoyed Muslims, including Sheikh Muzaffar, heavily. The reason of their annoyance is yet to be known but strikingly Kashmir Goldsmiths Association, under auspices of Muzaffar, agreed to pay an amount of 2 lakhs to the bereaved family of Ashok only if the deceased body was cremated in Srinagar. What was the reason? Were local Muslims desperate to hide any cruel truth? Did Ashok, being a Hindu, become victim of ghastly design?

Meanwhile, villagers of Santoshpur back home in Hooghly, Bengal, exerted pressure on Sheikh Esrael, father of Sheikh Muzaffar, to transport corpse to the village soon. Muzaffar, hearing all these, surprisingly, stopped rendering any form of assistance. To put an end to wastage of time, Rs. 50,000 was submitted to ATM account of Ashu for fast deportation of the corpse. Because of this, the corpse was carried to Kolkata by aircraft and from there to Santoshpur.

Mohan Santra, father of deceased Ashok, talked to Officer-in-Charge, P.S. Jangipara in the intervening time. But the response of police was indeed misleading. Not only Mohan was informed that it had already been late but he was also precluded from moving farther. As per Tapas Brati Chakraborty, then O.C., timely information could have led to post-mortem examination of the corpse in Srinagar.

When the corpse was brought to Santoshpur, a 1 ft. (at least) long deep wound (stretching from navel towards the chest) was found. This made villagers suspicious of factors behind Ashok’s death. But nothing could be elucidated by aghast brothers of Ashok, Ashu Santra and Khokon Santra. The corpse was cremated in the village conforming to Hindu religious rituals.

But the incident refuses to end here since a few questions, remaining unanswered yet, have come to the fore.

1. Who were Ashok’s friends calling him in the fateful night?
2. Why was such an intoxicated person not escorted while coming down through stairs?
3. Who did admit Ashok Santra to the hospital?
4. Why Ashu Santra could not find any well-wisher of Ashok in the hospital?
5. Why did 3 Hindus working in jewelry shop in Srianagar, hailing from Midnapore, prefer to remain tight-lipped on the whole?
6. Why was Kashmir Goldsmiths Association ready to pay amount of 2 lakhs to the bereaved family of Ashok? Does cremation of a Hindu in Srinagar matter to Muslims in Kashmir still?
7. Why did Sheikh Muzaffar stop helping the entire procedure all of a sudden?
8. What was the reason behind 1 ft. long deep wound in Ashok Santra’s body?
9. Why was Mohan Santra prevented from proceeding more?
10. The post-mortem examination could have been done in Bengal too, if not in Srinagar. Why was local police reluctant to conduct it then?
11. Was local police influenced by Sheikh Muzaffar and his cohorts already?
12. Was Ashok’s kidney or any other organ taken out meanwhile? Was the deep wound resembling any form of clandestine surgical operation?

Without a shred of doubt Ashok Santra became a victim of venomous Islamic revulsion to Hindus. Circumstantial evidences point towards the same, indisputably.

Would other Hindus going to Kashmir have to share the same fate?
