Following a complaint lodged by Sau’s family on June 27th, the police initiated an investigation and registered a case against unidentified individuals. The grieving family members alleged that Sau was assaulted by a group of men allegedly hired by a contractor who accused Sau of attempting to steal parts from an earth mover parked on the roadside.

According to the family’s account, Sau had been out on his two-wheeler for some errands and while returning, he had stopped to rest under a tree in the vicinity of the earth mover machine. Tragically, this violent incident unfolded, resulting in Sau’s untimely demise. This incident adds to the growing concern over mob violence in the region, with recent similar fatalities reported in Salt Lake and Kolkata.

In response to these distressing events, Municipal Affairs and Urban Development Minister Firhad Hakim emphasized the need for mass counselling to counteract the rising mass hysteria. Meanwhile, Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar, who also serves as the state BJP president, criticized the TMC government for its alleged failure to effectively address and prevent such heinous crimes.
