8 in custody for murder of CJP activist’s father, Bengal police now say he got minor injury
Following the brutal killing of CJP activist Sheikh Mohammed Mafik's father, Bengal police have arrested eight suspects in connection with the incident, rejecting claims that Mafik himself died from a brutal physical assault. The police stated that Mafik sustained only a minor injury requiring a single stitch during the attack in Indas, Bankura district, on August 13.
On August 15, Mafik sought admission at Burdwan Medical College due to severe blood pressure fluctuations, but no life-threatening injuries were found by treating doctors. The police arrested eight suspects, remanding them to eight days of police custody, and are pursuing two additional absconding suspects. The incident sparked protests by the Cockroach Janta Party, which accused the BJP of involvement, claiming that those responsible were affiliated with the BJP.
