Kolkata: Hindu Man Killed by Amjad and his Associates after Protesting Public Drinking, Sparks Outrage

Hindu Voice Team: A horrifying incident has sent shockwaves across West Bengal as a young man, identified as Ram, was brutally murdered in Ekbalpur by Amjad and his associates. The crime took place after Ram objected to the group drinking alcohol openly in front of his residence.

According to eyewitnesses, Ram’s protest enraged the men, who then attacked him with lethal force. He succumbed to his injuries on the spot, leaving the local community in grief and anger. Residents allege that such violence has become a recurring pattern, fueled by political arrogance and unchecked criminal activity.

Accusations of Political Impunity

Local citizens and opposition leaders have directly blamed the ruling Trinamool Congress, accusing the party of fostering an environment where criminals act with political protection. “This is not an isolated crime. This is the result of Trinamool’s culture of terror, where dissent is silenced, and Hindus are increasingly unsafe,” one community member told reporters.

Opposition parties, including the BJP, strongly condemned the incident, terming it a “direct outcome of the TMC’s appeasement politics and arrogance of power.” They demanded immediate arrests of all culprits and strict enforcement of law and order in the state.

Pattern of Violence

This is not the first such case. In recent years, West Bengal has witnessed multiple incidents where individuals who raised their voices against public disorder, illegal encroachments, or antisocial activities were brutally attacked. Critics argue that the state government has repeatedly failed to ensure the safety of ordinary citizens.

Analysts say that the killing of Ram is yet another grim reminder of the lawlessness prevailing under the current regime, where street-level criminals allegedly enjoy immunity due to their political links.

Public Anger and Tensions

The murder has triggered massive outrage in Ekbalpur, with locals staging protests and blocking roads, demanding swift justice. Slogans against the Trinamool Congress echoed through the neighborhood, as mourners carried Ram’s body in a procession.

The police have initiated an investigation and assured strict action, but many residents remain skeptical. “Justice rarely reaches the common man here. We want action, not promises,” said a local shopkeeper.

A State in Crisis

With incidents of political killings, communal clashes, and violent crimes on the rise, observers fear that public trust in law enforcement is collapsing in West Bengal. Many now see Ram’s murder as a symbol of both political arrogance and the helplessness of ordinary citizens in the face of growing impunity.
