After Murshidabad, Fresh Violence In Another Bengal District During Anti-Waqf Act Protest

Tensions rose in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas as protesters torched vehicles during the anti-Waqf Act protests on Monday.


Bengal Violence: Just as the situation in Murshidabad started rolling back towards normalcy, tensions have now gripped yet another West Bengal district — Bhangar in South 24 Parganas — as anti-Waqf Act protesters clashed with the city police and set a van and other vehicles on fire.

The roads were allegedly blocked by those from the minority community, officials said.

Videos showed police bikes being set on fire and a police bus turned over with its front glass broken. The videos also showed many police officers present on the streets.

Two people have so far been arrested in connection with the latest incident while one police personnel has sustained injuries, officials said.

The violence erupted as supporters of the Indian Secular Front clashed with the police in the Bhangar area.

ISF supporters were reportedly heading towards Ramlila Maidan in Kolkata to attend a rally against the Waqf law. The rally was supposed to be addressed by the party’s MLA, Naushad Siddique.

However, the police had denied permission to conduct the rally. Despite no green signal by the police, the rally was held.

A large crowd from the Muslim community gathered in Ghatakpukur to protest against the Waqf Amendment Act passed by the BJP-led Centre. Police personnel were deployed and barricades were also put in place. 

The fresh bout of violence comes days after Murshidabad witnessed violent protests on the law last week, in which three people were killed while several, including police officials, were injured. Over 150 people were later arrested in connection with the violence.

The Calcutta High Court had ordered the deployment of central forces in Murshidabad and other areas of the state where such protests were taking place so that law and order could be maintained.
