Parganas: Accusing the police of turning a deaf ear to her woes, widow of one of the BJP worker, allegedly killed during the recent clashes between the TMC and BJP cadres in West Bengal, claimed that the concerned officials have not taken any action against her complaints.
Narrating her ordeal, Padma Mandal, wife of deceased BJP worker Pradip Mandal told reporters, here, that the police denied any kind of help and in turn ordered them that they cannot venture in the night to find the bodies.
"I carried the body of my husband up the road and then I called my neighbours. Initially, the police were not unwilling to touch the body, but afterwards, they pushed all of us aside and took the corpse to the police station."
Padma further said that the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) refused to listen to her and accused her of lying.
"Besides this, the police have also arrested my father and brothers, who went to the police station to file a complaint. They have not taken any action and also have not arrested the accused in the case. My husband should get justice," she maintained
BJP leader Mukul Roy has alleged that four workers of his party were shot dead by the members of TMC in North 24 Parganas district on Saturday evening.
Ruling TMC, on the other hand, has alleged that a member of their party was killed by BJP supporters.
