MALDA, June 24: The English Bazaar police station has been instructed to step up tight patrolling in Malda town tonight following the mysterious death of a 40-year-old rickshaw puller early this morning.The objective is to keep watch on a group of motorcyclists who have started “killing game” as adventure here coming from outside, the Malda SP said today.Mr DK Mondal said he could not understand the cause and motive behind the murder of a rickshaw puller after primary investigations were over.“We only have information that a group of motorcyclists entered Malda town last night and raided different roads killing one rickshawpuller,” he said. He said that they attempted to kill another innocent man who managed to escape. This group, police said, shot dead ill-fated Jalil Sheikh at Gour Road early today. Police did not get any clue and the number of the two wheelers to nab the culprits, the Malda SP said. “We will step up vigilance on main roads and many junctions in this town so that police can chase any motorcyclist who tries to enter English Bazaar town tonight again,” Mr Mondal told The Statesman. Malda police are in trouble following reporting of several unnatural deaths, rapes and murders in Malda since the last week of May. During the second week of June, criminals in Malda killed eight persons. Even English Bazaar police could not draw a final conclusion following unnatural death of freelance photojournalist Pralependu Sanyal.The Malda SP said police would finally draw a conclusion regarding the murder of the photojournalist when a chargesheet would be submitted to the court within three months from the date of incident.At present English Bazaar police are trying hard to find a clue to Jhumpa Khatun’s mysterious death. Police went to Santiniketan to interrogate a postgraduate student Rini Khatun, a friend of Jhumpa.
