PTI, KOLKATA, MAY 5, 2025 : Urging West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose to ensure their security, a woman and her daughter-in-law, who lost their husbands in the violence in Murshidabad district, alleged on Sunday that they were being threatened by the ruling TMC and the police.
In a four-page letter, Parul Das and Pinki Das urged Bose to arrange their smooth travel to the Calcutta High Court, where they wanted to file a petition.
“We, the two widows of Haragobindo Das and Chandan Das, are writing to you with a broken heart and trembling hands, seeking justice and ensuring security. We are writing this from a hidden location, not only fearing the threats of the ruling party but also the police who are continually threatening us,” the letter said.
They alleged that a team from the Bidhannagar Purba police station tried to “kidnap” them from Salt Lake BG Block in the morning.
Dismissing the allegations, the police said they went to Salt Lake BG Block after receiving a complaint from Haragobindo’s younger son, Samartha. “Last night, the family’s younger son filed a written complaint with the Samsherganj police station that the wives of the deceased were taken away from their home by a man in a car the previous evening.”
