On the night of 15th July, Sunday, half an hour past midnight two Muslim
goons namely Shahjahan Shaikh and Matiyar Rahaman Mollah broke open the
door of a Nepali Hindu family. The Nepali man works a security guard at
a soft drink company at Budge Budge and he was away on duty that night.
His wife and two unmarried daughters were in the house.

It was a very rainy night. The Muslims entered the house and dragged the
eldest daughter to a nearby garden and started to rape her. Her mother
raised an alarm and pleaded help form her neighbours. But due to severe
rains nobody could hear her calls. So she herself went to save her
daughter. But the Muslims caught hold of her and raped her too. When
they left her she ran to the local CPI(M) member of Sarisha Panchayat
Murselim Shaikh, who is none other than the brother of rapist Shahjahan
Shaikh and told him what happened. When she returned she found that her
younger daughter was being raped by the two monsters.

The Police have arrested both the criminals on Saturday the basis of FIR
lodged. The brother of the Hindu woman, Jagadish Mistry complained that
the CPI(M) leaders Murselim Shaikh (Sarisha Panchayat) and Nityananda
Mondal (Diamond Harbour - 2 Panchayat) are pressing the victims to
settle the issue in lieu of money. Rishi Haldar, the CPI(M) MLA from
Diamond Harbour claimed this to be a false accusition. SP Praveen Kumar
is investigating the case. All India Trinamool Congress has submitted a
memorandum to the Police demanding exemplary punishment for the criminals.
