A teacher, his pregnant wife, and eight-year-old child were killed in a barbaric manner and there has been no response from the state machinery so far.

West Bengal RSS secretary Jishnu Basu confirmed that the primary teacher was working as an RSS worker and was recently associated with ‘Weekly Milan’ an RSS weekly programs organized by the Sangh.

Basu said, ā€œBengal is passing through the worst law and order situation. Bandhu was an RSS worker and involved in several social works in the district. It seems like a case of murder and we want a high-level investigation into the matter.ā€

He further stated, ā€œIt is unfortunate that even after 48-hours no one has been arrested in connection with the incident. The teachersā€™ association protested against the incident and organized a protest rally in the area. I request people not circulate videos and photographs of the victims in social media as it is very disturbingā€.

Murshidabad SP Mukesh Kumar said that they are already investigating the matter and there is no political involvement in the murder case.

He further added, “Prima facie looks like a case related to lending, dues and troubled relationships of husband and wife. Its a purely criminal case. The couple moved to Jiaganj area 5 years back”.
