Kolkata, April 21|| The West Bengal government’s initial “outsider” theory behind the communal violence in the minority-dominated Murshidabad district has been nullified to a great extent by the identities of the four arrested individuals in connection with the killing of a man and his son on April 12.
It has been revealed that all four arrested individuals were not only residents of Murshidabad district but also used to frequent the village where the slain father and son, Hargobindo Das and Chandan Das, lived.
At the same time, the villagers have also confirmed that three of the four arrested were residents of villages adjacent to the village of the slain father and son.
The state police first arrested two cousins in this connection, namely Kalu Nadab and Dildar Nadab, both residents of a village adjacent to the one where the Das duo used to reside. Villages have confirmed to the investigating officials that both these accused cousins used to frequent the resident village of the Das family to meet their acquaintances there.
While Kalu Nadab was arrested from Murarai in Birbhum district, Dildar Nadab was nabbed from Suti in Murshidabad district.
Thereafter, last week, the cops arrested a local electrician, Inzamam Haque, in this connection. Like the two arrested cousins, Haque also used to frequent the village of the Das family for domestic electrical repair work.
