TMC Workers Arrested for Torching Houses After Killing of Saifuddin Lashkar

Accident – Death – Obituary News : Three TMC Supporters Arrested for Arson and Vandalism in South 24 Parganas

In a shocking incident, three workers of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) were arrested on Sunday night for allegedly torching and vandalising houses in Doluakhaki village, Joynagar, in South 24 Parganas district. The violent acts were carried out in retaliation for the killing of a TMC leader, Saifuddin Lashkar, earlier this month.

According to a police official, the arrested individuals have been identified as Nazrul Mandal, Akbar Dhali, and Amanullah Jamadar, all of whom are TMC supporters. The incident occurred on November 13 when Saifuddin Lashkar, a TMC leader and panchayat member, was shot dead by motorcycle-borne assailants while he was on his way to a mosque. He was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.

The TMC had alleged that CPI (M) workers, in collaboration with the BJP, had conspired to murder Saifuddin. The father of the deceased, Ilyas Lashkar, had also pointed fingers at the CPI(M). In response to the killing, Saifuddin’s supporters reportedly set fire to around 20-25 houses in Doluakhaki village, targeting the families of alleged CPI(M) workers.

The accused individuals allegedly beat up and threatened the women of the affected families, leading to further tensions between the two political parties. Four individuals, including a purported CPI(M) leader named Anisur Lashkar, were subsequently arrested by the police. However, the CPI(M) has denied any association with Anisur, stating that he does not hold any position in the party.

The aftermath of the incident has left Joynagar in a state of unrest, with police deployed in the area to maintain order. On Sunday, the police denied the CPI(M) permission to distribute relief material to the affected families in Doluakhaki village. Baruipur East MLA Bivas Sardar held the CPI(M) responsible for the ongoing tensions in Joynagar, stating that the arrest of Anisur Lashkar provides evidence of his involvement in Saifuddin’s murder.

Senior TMC leader Madan Mitra echoed Sardar’s sentiments, accusing the CPI(M) and BJP of unleashing criminal elements. However, CPI(M) leader Sujan Chakraborty dismissed the allegations, demanding the arrest of the actual culprits involved in the incident.

The situation remains tense in Joynagar, and the police are working to restore peace and stability in the area. The investigation into Saifuddin Lashkar’s murder and the subsequent acts of arson and vandalism is ongoing, and authorities are determined to bring the perpetrators to justice.
