CPM to launch stir against police 'inaction'

Statesman News Service
MALDA, Jan. 29: In a reversal of roles, the CPI-M in Malda has decided to launch a stir against the police questioning the lawkeepers’ role in the district.

The party's Kaliachak zonal committee has resolved to organise a movement against the growth of crime rate and the role of the Congress and the police in the district. The CPI-M district secretary, Mr Jiban Moitra, has blessed the resolution.

The CPI-M is targeting police following successive murders including that of CPI-M workers in Kaliachak police station areas recently. According to the Marxists, police have not been able to arrest the culprits connected with the crimes.

“It is a shame when police from other states have succeeded in arresting criminals from Kaliachak involved in inter-state criminal activities including fake currency circulation, robbery, car hijacking and murder, the Malda police are not finding the criminals connected with crimes committed locally despite several reminders,” the CPI-M district secretary, Mr Jiban Moitra, said.

“We had submitted a list of 17 criminals including Jamshed, who murdered CPI-M worker Anwar Hossain at Jadupur, but police are yet to arrest any of them. While locals say that the criminals are moving about freely, police claim they cannot find them,” he added. The CPI-M in Malda has prepared a list of crimes committed recently in the district.
