The victims include a child and six women, aged between seven and 52, and a newly married couple

Bolpur (Birbhum): The charred bodies of at least eight persons were found in two houses at Bogtui village on the outskirts of Birbhum’s Rampurhat on Tuesday amid allegations that they were burnt alive in retaliation to the killing of Bhadu Sheikh, a Trinamul leader, on Monday night.

Calcutta High Court steps in, to hear the matter regarding Bengal violence that killed 8 at 2 pm, NDTV.com reported quoting ANI.

The victims include a child and six women, aged between seven and 52, and a newly married couple. Seven of the victims were related to one another.

“Eight people were killed in the incident. Seven bodies were recovered from a single house.… One among the three injured died in hospital,” director-general of police Manoj Malaviya said.

Located around 220km from Calcutta, Bogtui is a village with over 2,000 people.

Since the time of the Left, the village has been a victim of violence and crime — an upshot of a host of unlawful activities, such as manufacture of crude bombs, supply of arms and illegal sand and stone mining, that thrived in its vicinity.

“The village has had two groups that have been at odds with each other for the past three decades.… During the time of the Left, both the groups belonged to the Left. Since the change of guard, they have shifted allegiance to Trinamul… but their fight is continuing,” said a source.

The carnage — the worst in recent memory in Bengal and the first such massacre after Trinamul assumed power in 2011 — came as an embarrassment for the ruling party.

Opposition leaders cited intra-Trinamul tussle for spoils as the principal reason behind the massacre. They demanded imposition of President’s rule, saying that law and order had broken down.

Chief minister Mamata Banerjee, in a letter to governor Jagdeep Dhankhar, referred to a larger plan to malign Bengal.

Government sources cited prompt action, such as the formation of a special investigation team and proceedings against some policemen, to insist that law was taking its course.

The dead have been identified as Jahanara Bibi (Doli), 38; Lili Khatun, 18; Sheli Bibi, 32; Nurnehar Bibi, 52; Rupali Bibi, 39; Kazi Sajidur Rahaman, 22; Tuli Khatun, 7; and Mina Bibi, 40. The first seven were relatives and their bodies were found in the one-storey house of Sona Sheikh. Kazi Sajidur and Lili Khatun were the newly weds.
