Kolkata, July 30, 2023 (PPI-OT): A Muslim woman activist of Congress, Khatun Bewa (64), was reportedly lynched by the ruling party activists in West Bengal state in India. Bilal Mondal, the younger brother of the deceased said that besides being a die-hard Congress supporter she was also an ardent follower of state Congress president and veteran party Lok Sabha member Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.
“Some of the miscreants having backing of the ruling party started showering abuses in front of her house at Ghoramara in Murshidabad district of West Bengal on Sunday morning. As my elder sister protested, she was lynched in the process. We demand exemplary punishment for the culprits,” Mondal said. With this fresh killing, the total number of casualties in the state has touched 56 since June 8, 2023 when the polling date for panchayat election was announced.
