Another Bengali Muslim worker has been beaten to death in India on suspicion of being a Bangladeshi and in the wrath of a militant group. Manjur Alam Laskar, 32, a resident of Usti area of \u200b\u200bSouth 24 Parganas in West Bengal, was brutally murdered in Komarolu area of \u200b\u200bPrakasam district of Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday (January 21) night, his family claimed.
\nManjur had been working as a lace maker in the area for almost a decade. It is alleged that even after living there for a long time, some local militant groups had been threatening him to leave the area, calling him a ‘Bangladeshi’, and finally he was beaten to death on false charges of theft.
\nThe family of the deceased Manjur has described the horrific kidnapping and ransom demand behind the incident. Last Tuesday (January 20), Manjur’s wife received a call from an unknown number demanding a ransom of Rs 25,000. Fearing for her husband’s life, the family collected Rs 6,000 and sent it online, but it did not materialize; Manjur was killed on Wednesday night.
\nThe elder brother of the deceased Manjur, Ghiyasuddin Laskar, a local Trinamool leader from Usti area of \u200b\u200bWest Bengal, has called the murder a premeditated crime. He claimed that his brother was first kidnapped by identifying him as a Bangladeshi and later beaten to death after ransom was collected.
\nThe TDP-JSP-BJP coalition government is currently in power in Andhra Pradesh. After this inhumane murder, the family of the deceased has made a sincere appeal to the West Bengal government to contact the Andhra Pradesh administration and ensure an impartial and thorough investigation. The Usti area is now in turmoil, demanding exemplary punishment for the culprits.
\nOn the other hand, another Bengali worker has been reported to have mysteriously died in Chennai in South India. The body of a 29-year-old man named Alamgir Mandal was recovered from the side of the railway tracks on Thursday (January 22) after being missing for eight days. He had boarded a train to work in Hyderabad. The railway police initially suspected it to be an accident, but Alamgir’s family suspects it to be murder. In India, a series of attacks on Bengali Muslim workers suspected of being Bangladeshis in the past few months has sparked deep fear among migrant workers.
