South Dinajpur district Imams demand steep increase in monthly allowance

Despite being provided Rs. 2,500 as monthly allowance, Imams across Bengal appear dissatisfied by the entitlements. Recently, a district conference was organized by Imams at Bilaspur High Madrasa in Karandighi Block of Dinajpur (South) district on 29th May as a show of dissatisfaction. The conference went on from 10 am to 5 pm and was attended by a thousand Imams and Maulavis. Their first and foremost demand was to press the government to increase their monthly package to Rs. 10,000. The meeting was presided by Mr. Abdul Azad from Murshidabad, chief secretary of the organization. Several members of the organization announced that an application in this regard had already been sent to chief minister Mamata Banerjee and that the struggle of Imams to increase the monthly payment will go on.

Initiative to stop improper and commercial use of national emblems commences in Siliguri

Society against Misuse of Revered Figures has initiated a major public campaign and in this regard, they met Mr. K. Jayaraman, Commissioner of the Siliguri Metropolitan Police, on 31st May. They sought his intervention to stop desecration of Hindu gods and goddesses for commercial benefits. On the word of Ratan Banik, founder member of the organization and also lawyer by profession, a section of package manufacturers is being found to use sanctified symbols of Dharma and also of India on the packets of different useful goods. And people are trampling those unconsciously.  

Apart from individual counseling, a drive to make people conscious of the same is also going on at the moment.  Members of the society claimed that a design has been hatched to desecrate hallowed emblems of India like Ashok Stambh, Ashok Chakra and several other symbols of national honor. Accordingly, they asked Commissioner of the Siliguri Metropolitan Police to adopt stern measures against all those deliberately dishonoring national icons. Mr. Jayaraman assured members of the society that each and every feature in this context would be checked.

Muslim radicals seize Hindu property in Kaliachak, Malda


Muslim radicals in the realm of Malda, due to rising incapacity of indigenous administration, know no bounds and hence, their devilish intentions to ravage or seize Hindu properties illegally remain unabated.

A minor Hindu family living in village: Silampur, P.S. Kaliachak, District: Malda is experiencing the same brunt at the moment. Their own garden of mangos (worth 30 cottahs) has been occupied by local Islamists and even after repeated pleas (and almost a month has passed already) of Hindus the police is yet to nab the culprits.

On April 8, 2013, at night, a band of local Islamists enclosed the aforementioned garden belonging to Rajkumar Saha, a Hindu individual living in village: Silampur for decades. The goons have built a thatched hut within the garden while the entire property is being guarded by a group, containing more than 25, of Muslim radicals. The entire attack took place under the leadership of Salil Sheikh, an infamous Islamist in the locality.

An FIR in detail was filed at P.S. Kaliachak; police called Muslims for a steady resolution to the problem. But there has been no response yet. Islamists appeared only for once and dared the police stating that no such call bothered them.

The impasse continues and Rajkumar is paying the price for being a Hindu in Bengal.

Maulavis rape Hindu girl student in Jalpaiguri


Sorcery is a belief in magical spells that harness occult forces or evil spirits to produce unnatural effects in the world and myriad instances prove that any such experiment casts a doom on the very individual. A Hindu girl student of Class VII at Jayasree Tea Garden, P.S. Madarihat, Block – Alipur, District: Jalpaiguri has become the victim of such a felonious design; she was raped by two Maulavis or sorcerers.

This ghastly incident took place on March 28, 2013 at 9.30 am when the aforesaid two Maulavis or sorcerers visited the house of hapless Hindu child. The two Muslim radicals informed the girl’s mother (Hembala Barman) that their magical prowess could better the girl student’s performances in subjects like English and Mathematics. Such an assurance energized the impoverished Hindu family (bereaved of father).  

To fetch both water and oil, essential for the black magic, Hembala went to her neighbor’s house and meanwhile, the two Islamists grabbed the girl student. Getting helpless before such an assault, the Hindu girl started screaming helplessly. Hembala, hearing it, rushed to her residence only to find ravishment of her innocent daughter.  She, in order to save her daughter, attacked both Islamists with a hard and long stick and both got wounded.  

All these were enough to raise a hue and cry among Hindus but local political pressure proved to be more dominant through subduing the Hindu grievance. Hembala was prevented from moving to the local police station, let alone filing an FIR.

Will Hindu temples in Malda cease to exist?

Hindu temples in Malda, premier district in Bengal, have become latest target of burglars and with each day it passes, more and more temples are becoming victims to theft while the administration continues to witness the horrid episode helplessly. Only on the night of January 22, 2013, four temples became victims raising the number of thefts to 12 in the last 4 days.

According to sources, during the night of January 22, 2013, the 300-year-old Bura Kali temple, located in the Kalitala area, was robbed. While the temple is at a few yards away from the office of Krishnendu Chowdhury, reigning Minister of Tourism, Bengal and also chairman of English Bazaar Municipality, it is close to district party offices of both CPI and CPIM as well. The lock of the temple was found completely broken in the following morning; gold ornaments with valuables, including Khadaga of Devi Kali made of 1 kg. silver and box containing offerings of Hindu devotees, were also stolen. If the words of Bhattacharya Mahashaya (priest in the temple) are believed, the loss exceeds at least Rs. 10 lakhs.

On the same night two more Kali temples and one Devi Manasa temple positioned in Baluchar area suffered the same fate.      

On the night of January 19, 2013, five more Hindu temples, located at various parts of the Malda town, were victimized such and as per available reports, ornaments with valuables looted from temples worth Rs. 5 lakhs.

The administration is yet to respond firmly even if three police teams, reportedly, are patrolling the entire town during night.  

Who is behind this wicked design? Even if police and administration appears to remain innocent, substantial evidences prove that Muslim radicalism is being given a free rein in Malda. And it has become stronghold of illegal Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh by and large. All these factors stimulate Islamic fundamentalism to raise its head posing a grave threat to Indian integrity fast. Hindus temples in Malda have become the first casualty of Muslim radicalism, hence.

North Bengal appreciating Hindu Samhati’s worth fast


The recent visit of Bikarna Naskar, valiant youth leader of Hindu Samhati, to Raiganj, North Bengal has played a successful and imperative role in expanding the organization into the northern tract of Bengal.

Bikarna presided two meetings at Itahar and Bhatol – both in Raiganj, District: North Dinajpur where hundreds of Hindus ignoring the chill wind attended the meetings. A large number of issues regarding anguish (remaining submerged due to absence of any strong Hindu organization before) of Hindus living there came forth – ranging from rising arrogance of Muslims, how they are persecuting Hindus in various areas using weird silence of police and administration to mounting trafficking of Hindu women, economic exploitation of Hindus – all were discussed with gravity.

Hindus present in the meeting found a new hope in Bikarna and Hindu Samhati. Hindu Samhati vows to struggle for Hindus.

How are Hindus in North Bengal? Gone are the days when Hindus used to enjoy preponderance owing to their numerical majority and economic success in the region; the lot has changed a great deal because of fast demographic changes and surge in economic reservations for Muslims.       

All these changes have stimulated Muslims highly; they are even found to threaten Hindus openly.         

1 Bihari Muslim individual had fled with a Hindu girl of late; the incident took place in village: Maharaja, P.S. Raiganj. But intense pressures of Muslims forced Hindus to evade filing an official complaint to the nearby police station. How hapless they are became evident when Hindu Samhati team, led by Bikarna Naskar, went to have a talk with them.

The family didn’t have the courage to talk with Bikarna owing fearing next-door Muslims.

Hindu Samhati has begun its struggle for Hindus living in this area.

Muslim activist of outlawed SIMI threatening Hindu Headmaster in Karandighi, North Dinajpur


Even if a radical Muslim outfit is banned, its activists do not face any trouble to work anywhere in India thanks to weird democratic prevailing the country. The story may seem unusual to many but the Hindu Headmaster of Pouti High School, P.S. Karandighi, District: North Dinajpur is having brunt of the same.


The revered Headmaster, Mr. Sudeb Chandra Majumder, is being threatened by Sikander (infamous for being a SIMI activist far and wide), turned into a Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader by now, of dire consequences all the time these days. The reason may appear to be quite flimsy – Pouti High School, led by Mr. Majumder, has decided to have Rs. 120 as annual admission fee for Class V to Class XII.

Nevertheless, the decision has irked the new political boss in the neighborhood, Sikander, who considers the school committee’s decision as a serious challenge to his political clout in the area. As per fresh reports, Sikander left no stone unturned to prevent the Headmaster from going on with the decision (no formal protest has been launched by the school students or their guardians yet) and when all measures failed, Sikander started to threaten the Headmaster directly (either through phone or through his own network of criminals).

Sikander is linked to all sorts of anti-social activities including women trafficking. 

Regular threats by Sikander have left the Headmaster aghast; he is not alone in this context – Hindus in the area are also panicked. And the extent of panic is such that the Headmaster didn’t have the courage to file an FIR against the Muslim criminal. 

Dr. Akhil Majumder, respected doctor in the locality, decided to file the official complaint for the Headmaster and at that time a good number of people joined him too.

But, police or local administration is yet to adopt any strict measure against Sikander; he is acting likewise in its absence.

Hindus have lost faith on the administration.

Rape, Trafficking of Hindu Women Rampant in Tea Gardens of Jalpaiguri

Hindu workers are living in an abject poverty in tea gardens in North Bengal; they are being deprived of basic amenities and are also getting victims to the rising tentacles of Islamic fundamentalism. It has come to knowledge, Hindu workers in the tea plantations are having a wage of Rs. 95 (at best) daily – an unbelievable wage structure (if vehemently rising market prices are kept in mind) to enable a single individual to live healthily, not to speak of maintaining an entire family.

What do they do in case of illness? Hapless Hindus have no other option other than moving to nearest urban centres to get the basic treatment; neither the tea estates provide any such facility nor there is any such planning with them (at the moment) for the future.

To make the story worse, Hindu families, especially their womenfolk, are becoming easy preys of lusts of Muslims. The number of Muslim laborers has risen exponentially in the last few years and if secret reports of various organizations are counted on, their thumping increase is stimulating owners of tea gardens to be unsupportive to the Hindu workers. 

The pathetic experience of Priyanka Kiro, daughter of A. Kiro, is not an eye-opener only but is enough to send a shudder through the spine also. The innocent Hindu girl was virtually raped by a Muslim goon, named Ashfaq, at Rahimabad tea estate in Dooars (District: Jalpaiguri) a week before the last Kalipuja. Even if the aged father tried his best to get support from police, he is yet to have any and Priyanka remains shell shock until now.

As per our studies, this is not any stray incident but is becoming a regular feature almost. About five years back, one daughter of the same family had been molested by Muslim crooks and at that time too, administration denied to extend any support to the wretched family.

It’s getting dangerous for Hindu women to save their dignity in Rahimabad tea estate along with in several other estates. While on one hand, fear of violation by Muslim culprits reigns supreme among Hindu women, women’s trafficking (of Hindu women in particular) has reached an all-time high in the area. Local people have confirmed that Muslim agents are increasing their strengths by leaps and bounds, enticing helpless Hindu women by promising them good jobs but are selling them to brothels across India for Rs 80,000 to 1,20,000 rupees each ultimately.
 
Hindu Samhari 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.
 
 

Islamic Fundamentalism Rising in North Bengal

Drastic changes are taking place in the realm of Jalpaiguri, North Bengal, stealthily; Hindu-dominated areas (erstwhile) are being changed by escalating Muslim population swiftly leading to a rapid transformation in the vicinity as regards culture, food habits.   
 
This startling report has come to the fore owing to a painstaking study of Hindu Samhati.
 
Following (recent) Assam violence in 2012, a large number of Muslims entered areas falling under P.S. Shamuktala and P.S. Kumargram, Block: Kumargram, District: Jalpaiguri. A refugee camp was also established for them under the auspices of governmental agencies, recorded to shelter a large number of them. Even if the camp was disbanded a few weeks later officially and a lots of dwellers there went back, many preferred to remain with their relatives. Unfortunately a news was published in mainstream media of return of Muslims en masse to Assam; the report was far from truth.
 
And the scenario in the vicinity is changing as a result. As fresh reports are coming in, Muslims are not remaining silent but expressing strong desires to marry Hindu girls for their own expansion exclusively. With this end in view their nefarious designs are fortifying day in and day out and they have been successful in a few cases too by now.
 
Rapid changes are being perceived in tea gardens where Muslims are in majority – cow slaughtering is getting common here more than ever before. Moreover, when on earth aboriginal Hindus (adivasis or tribal) are protesting against these rigorous acts, they are being (both) threatened, admonished and if necessary warned of dire consequences as well.
 
Hindus remain confused; they neither enjoy support of the administration nor of political parties – ever ready to appease Muslims for political gains – and hence, are left in the lurch.

Fake Currency Trade by Muslims in Maldah Ravaging Bengal

Bangladesh Emerging as a Cause of Concern for India 
 
Trade of fake notes is rampant in Maldah at the moment; success of police to have fake notes worth Rs. 11 lakh (1 lakh = 100,000)  owing to nightlong investigations (on December 11 and 12, 2012) in Vaishnabnagar and Kaliachak in the district and arrest of four Muslims in this context have revealed the dirty secrets predominating this bordering district of Bengal for decades.
 
Maldah happens to be a stronghold for illegal Muslim infiltrators from Bangladesh to India for decades and trade of fake Indian currency helps them to ensure their safety in India immensely – the dirty secret.
 
It is to be noted, Suraj Jamal Sheikh, one of the kingpins in this trade, along with a few of his accomplices was arrested by local police a few days back leading to a great sensation in the whole district. And his arrest ensured police that fake notes are entering India from across the border and spreading to the rest of country after that. Top senior police officials (on condition of anonymity) stated that the foremost aim of this endeavor is to destabilize the whole country economically and radical Muslim groups in Pakistan, Bangladesh and India are playing nefarious roles in this context.     
 
As per both BSF and police sources, Muslim traders are using Vaishnabnagar and Kaliachak in India-Bangladesh border area as transit points. Police, while arresting Suraj Jamal Sheikh and Marful Sheikh, recovered fake notes worth Rs. 2 lakhs.
 
On Tuesday (December 11, 2012, at night), police arrested Iman Sheikh with fake notes Rs. 2 lakhs from Shovapur Pardenapur in Vaishnabnagar.
 
On Wednesday (December 12, 2012, at night), police (of P.S. Vaishnabnagar and Englishbazar) arrested 3 Muslims with fake notes worth Rs. 9 lakh. As per police sources, police nabbed two Islamists on the fateful night from Shukpara, Kumbhira, P.S. Vaishnabnagar, India-Bangladesh border area and got fake notes worth Rs. 6 lakhs from them. Both culprits (Majibar Sheikh and Ruhal Sheikh) were riding a motorbike (without any number) then; each of 600 notes found from them was worth Rs. 1000. Majibar and Ruhal live in Mohabbatpur, Kaliachak. Initial investigations of police reveal, they were going to deliver the amount from Bangladesh to any other state in India.
 
On the same night (December 12, 2012), police force (P.S. Englishbazar) arrested a Muslim youth, named Nawab Sharif, resident of Vaishnabnagar, from Rathbari More – fake notes worth Rs. 3 lakhs were seized from him.

Durga Puja Pandal Vandalized in North Dinajpur, Muslim Mafia Controlled Administation Persecutes Hindus

District : North Dinajpur; Police Station : Karandighi;   

In Bethan village, a Durga Puja is organized each year by tribals / locals comprised of Mahato and Rajbonshis. The puja is the main celebration of this group in the village annually, in this northern district of West Bengal.

On 19th October 2012 (Panchami-5th day of Puja), the committee was approached by a grieving truck driver, who said that he was victimized by this Muslim gang 2 kms away from this area.  He claimed he was looted by them, asked the organizers for assistance in remediating this nuisance (looting, etc) by approaching the adminstration.

Several puja committee members went to this location and saw a West Bengal poice vehicle in the very spot.  They informed the police of the trucker's delemna, and enquired of reason for the lack of protection for the common people from regular looting by the Muslim robbers. The policemen asked the puja organizers to mind their own business, to return to their puja altar, or face serious consequences, which could result in the cancellation of the Durga puja itself for this club.  Later it was learned that the police in the area are deeply attached with the robbers and the local Muslim mafia.

On 20th October 2012 (Shasthi-6th day of Puja), around 11 o clock, a white vehicle arrived in front of the puja pandal, stalled there for a few minutes, and left.  This vehicle is reported to be owned by Sheikh Jaidul Rahman, who is attached with the local mosque,  and also the mafia.  The police came after the white car left the scene.  Second Officer of Karandighi Police Station, Tarun Karmakar, apparently dead drunk came with his force, and started hurling abusive words at the organizers.  He slapped the puja secretary, and when the public protested, he took out his service revolver, and called for more police backup.  Karmakar along with his officers kicked and threw the murthi of Debi Saraswati, broke the murthi of Karkick, and defiled the pandal.

It was apparent that Tarun Karmakar and his force were working under the direct influence of Jaidul Rahman.  Hindu women were abused and assulted, their saris were torn, etc.  Four organizers were arrested, and cases were given aganist them.  The arrested were Parameshwar mahato, Paresh Mahato, Bibekananda Mahatao, and Debu Mahato.

On 21st October 2012 (Saptami-7th day of Puja), the entire village of Bethan participated in the blocking of the local road system and demanded the following:

1. Persecution of the Criminals who broke the Hindu religious deities.

2. The local Muslim mafia (controlled by the area mosque) has to be apprehended and disbanded.

3. Puja Committe members have to be unconditionally released.

On 20th October, cases were given on 28 persons and 4 arrested, on the day of the road blocade, 36 persons were given cases and 1 arrested. Four persons have been released on bail, one person is
still not released as of early December.
 
The puja committee and local Hindu organizations have contacted Hindu Samhati for assistance on this matter, and Hindu Samhati has offered to help the village.
 
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.

Administration attempts to grab temple land in Gangarampur, Dinajpur (South)


Hindus in legal battle

Keshabpur happens to be an obscure place in Gangarampur Block, District: Dinajpur (South) and remains under the purview of P.S. Gangarampur. The area enjoys a Hindu-majority for centuries and contains almost 20 Muslim families. But the same area turned out to be a hotbed of conflicts on Id-ul-Fiter (August 20 – Monday) following a weird decision of administration to permit Muslims perform namaz in an extensive yet vacant field worth 2 acres 42 shatak. No namaz was ever performed there but administration permitted Muslims in this year to go on with the same.

It is to be noted, a Shiva temple does also exist alongside the vast tract and Hindus, hence, were not ready to bear violation of the temple’s sanctity in any way. Hindus, unlike others areas in Bengal, grouped soon and when they asked police the reason behind it, it had no other way expect to evade.

To quell the situation and also mounting anger of Hindus, topmost officials of administration including District Magistrate (DM), ADM, SDO and SDPO rushed to the spot (on the same day). In the ensuing meeting at P.S. Gangarampur, DM asked Hindus regarding outburst of emotions and every word spoken by him did contain ridicule to the Hindus and their mindsets. Even if DM’s rude behavior was enough to annoy Hindus, they did not walk out.

However, when the District Magistrate stated that 7 shatak land from the vast tract would be handed over to the temple committee to carry on their religious rituals (Puja), Hindus got shocked and burst into protest afterward. Adivasi (aboriginal people) Hindus also protested strongly; even if the DM cautioned them of dire consequences, Hindus did not back out.

The issue is contentious still; Hindus have lodged a case (WP No. 21656) in the court and it’s going on.

Fiery Hindus protesting cow slaughter on Eid decry, defy police in Itahar, Dinajpur


Administration makes a shameful retreat

Areas where Islamists’ presence, let alone preponderance, was hardly visible in the earlier decades in Bengal are becoming easy preys to their burgeoning influences these days and village: Rajogram, P.S. Itahar, District: Dinajpur (North) happens to be one of those. But the fiery Hindu protest this year on Bakri Id/Eid ul-Adha has taken Islamists there by storm.

The village has been dominated by Hindus for decades and hence, it could steer clear of the blasphemy of cow slaughtering. However, the situation turned to the contrary this year owing to the insistence of a handful of Islamists (inhabiting the village) to slaughter cow (on October 27, 2012 on account of Bakri Id/Eid ul-Adha) within the village infuriating Hindus all in all.  

When on earth Hindus protested against this ghastly decision, Islamists (supported by Islamists of other neighboring villages) started to warn Hindus leading to a squabble between the two warring groups.

To find out a solution, local police opted for a meeting that 5 members of each community were destined to attend. But Hindus in the meeting witnessed a heavy and vociferous gathering of 300 Islamists instead of set 5 who left no stone unturned to submerge Hindu viewpoints. And they emerged victorious to have the permission to slaughter cows but outside the village.

Later, it was learnt that Islamists got the desired permission at the behest of Kamal Acharya (local MLA of Trinamool Congress).

Hindu women were found to protest this dastardly act vehemently and how they can become CHANDI (during hour of need) manifested whenever Islamists strived to take beef into the village.

The intensity of Hindu protest was such that police personnel of local P.S. Itahar failed completely to rein in the situation. It got worse when DM of District: Dinajpur (North) arrived later on and tried to subdue Hindus. During the red-hot altercation, Hindus attacked police personnel including Officer-in-Charge of P.S. Itahar and even the District Magistrate. Witnessing the vehemence of Hindu protest, police and administration had no option except to retreat.

Tension prevails the village and opposition against Kamal Acharya among Hindus is on the rise.

Hindu family persecuted dreadfully in Malda


Political parties defend Islamists; sing to tunes of pseudo-secularism

Each and every development, these days, do prove how the dream of Hindus to retain a political dominance in Bengal is unimaginable or totally unlikely. Malda district was never a stronghold for Hindus but the condition, at least, in the earlier decades, was comparatively better. At the moment, the situation there is out of the frying pan into the fire.

On August 21, 2012, a gang of Islamists (armed with conventional and rural weapons), led by Jabbar Sheikh, attacked residence of Patanu Mandal, Hindu individual and resident of village: Nurdipur, P.S. Gajol. They were found to demand an amount of Rs. 500 from Patanu’s sons. And when they refused to give in, the brutal assault took place. Incidentally, Jabbar and other Islamists do live in the same village.

It has been learnt, Jabbar, a year back, took Patanu’s sons to a distant place for work and hence, they had to pay a definite amount of money to him. However, the entire amount was paid later on.      

On the fateful day, Jabbar, at early morning, came to Patanu’s residence with his henchmen and demanded Rs. 500. Villagers asked Jabbar to end the quarrel and move away; the sole reason being Patanu and his sons’ assertion that they had paid off the remaining amount by then.

But Jabbar was the last person to heed all these, came back with a gang of Islamists (containing no less than 40 toughs) within minutes and pounced the Hindu family viciously. Aged Patanu and his wife were insulted extremely and assaulted as well. To save own lives, sons of Patanu took refuge in residence of Kamalesh Haldar, elder brother of Patanu. House of Kamalesh was attacked by Islamists, got hold of three sons of Patanu Mandal – Shanu Mandal, Bhanu Mandal and Kanu Mandal – the three were thrashed heavily and were found to bleed profusely.

The three young Hindu male persons were taken to Malda Sub-divisional hospital but they were refused outright. Later, they were submitted to the Malda District Hospital.

Political parties, as usual, irrespective of political differences, have sided with Islamists and are leaving no stone unturned to mitigate the incident and also the case. It has also come to the knowledge, police is being forced to bring the case to an end as fast as possible.

Jabbar Sheikh used to be a strongarmer working for CPM even a few months back. He has joined Trinamool Congress recently. 

Sujit Maity, senior activist of Hindu Samhati, has brought the terrible incident to light.

Hindu housewife raped in Farakka


Islamist culprit- Charu Sheikh – escaping   

That Hindus are not secure in the realm of District: Murshidabad has been revealed once more – a Hindu housewife, dwelling in village: Bhairavdanga (within Bahadurpur), P.S. Farakka, has been raped by an Islamist, Charu Sheikh, Dafadar by profession and also a well-known activist of Congress  party in the vicinity.

It has been learnt that the ghastly incident took place on June 26, 2012, at noon, when the said lady, mother of two kids and also member of a self-help group, on account of a brawl with her husband, was going towards Ballalpur bridge to lodge a formal complaint in the local police station. When she was near the Aabla bridge, Charu Sheikh, riding a motorcycle, appeared there and asked her where she was going. Hearing her purpose, Charu Sheikh offered her a help – the Hindu woman was free to use his motorbike to reach police station easily and faster. Charu called her as aunty; hence, she had nothing to be wary of.

The entire stretch of road is indeed noiseless and is covered by extensive lands of jute on each side.

Suddenly, Charu stopped the motorbike and started to drag her to an adjoining field of jute. The Hindu housewife pleaded (repeatedly) with him to stop and even tried her best to raise an alarm. But the very area happens to be far from the nearest locality; hence, she couldn’t prevent the Islamist and Charu Sheikh admonishing her highly (of harming her along with her children extremely) raped her again and again.

Only when Charu left the area, the Hindu housewife could get along and walked for miles till she met an individual of her own village. She went back to her village and on the next day, in the early morning, she lodged a complaint against Charu Sheikh of violating her modesty in P.S. Farakka all alone.

Like other incidents of rapes of Hindu housewives, thanks to police’s animosity, Charu is running scared at the moment. There is another most frightful aspect – police is yet to arrange a medical examination of the victim – the Hindu housewife.
