I have to give you the news on Holi day that a TMC worker was hacked to death in Titagarh during color play. He was called, beaten, chased, and stabbed. The deceased TMC worker is Amar Chowdhury. The main accused Pawan Rajbhar has already been arrested by police. Police are searching for two more accused. [Music] [Praise] [Music] I have two representatives with me, on one side is Anup and on the other side is Abhijit. I’ll first come to Anup. Anup, what sensational information has come out from police sources so far, because Pawan has been arrested, meaning the main accused.
The arrest took place in Ward No. 13 of Chitagarh Municipality, at P.K. Biswas Road. It’s exactly where the color play event was going on. Later, Amar Chowdhury was in this nearby area where the color play event was happening when two young men, Pawan Rajbhar and Kanai Sao, came on a bike. Then they started beating him first and then attacked him with a knife, hitting his throat and stomach. He was taken to Sagar Dutta Hospital where his condition deteriorated, and then to R.G. Kar Hospital.
He died there. Police have already arrested Pawan Rajbhar, while they’re searching for the other accused, Kanai Shah. According to police sources, during questioning, they’ve learned there was an old dispute between Amar and Pawan. There had been previous incidents of fighting, and Pawan had been to jail multiple times before. It was observed that when the color play event was going on today, this whole incident happened. During the color play event, Pawan called Amar over.
Initialy, he was badly beaten up, then stabbed in the stomach and throat, and as a result, was killed. He worked with the Trinamool party, that’s what has been learned from the locality till now. In this case of beating, police have already arrested Pawan and are interrogating him. For the other accused, Kanai Sao, police have already started searching various places in the area. Let’s hear what the eyewitnesses are saying: “They came on a bike, created trouble, left and came back again to create more trouble. Akash said, ‘Why are you abusing me? What have I done?’ Just then, a fight broke out. The boys here, the elders who were there, moved Akash to this side, and they escaped on their bike.
They left, suddenly left after abusing him. No, he went there to ask why they were abusing him. People here were stopping him from going. Suddenly, after five minutes, he came back and sat here. We saw blood pouring out. What happened? His throat was cut. Did they have a fight before? Yes, they had left earlier and came back. One asked, ‘Why did you abuse me, brother?’ As he was about to reply, they stabbed him with a knife. Was there a color play event going on? No, they came from that direction on a bike. Yes, there were three people with a bike. Yes, on Holi day, a TMC worker was
killed, why? What. Why the killing. I shall elaborate on that. Abhijit. Abhijit, why the killing? The killing, Priyanka, started on December 31, 2024, that is New Year’s Eve. There was a party on that day, at the residence of the deceased Amar Chowdhury aka Akash Chowdhury. There was some commotion with this Rajbhar that night of the party on New Year’s, and there was an altercation involving Raj Tiwari, Kanai Tiwari, Pawan Rajbhar, and Akash’s friends.
During that disturbance, there was an argument and fight between the accused and the deceased Akash aka Amar Chowdhury. That same day, the accused Pawan Rajbhar, Raj Tewari, and Kanaiya Tewari all three threatened that they would finish him off, that he would be killed very soon. In other words, a death threat was given to Amar Chowdhury. After that, a complaint was filed at Khardah police station by the deceased Amar Chowdhury’s side. On the other hand, this Pawan Rajbhar was released from jail just four months ago because he had been arrested for keeping ganja, for the crime of keeping prohibited narcotics. After spending some time in jail, he was released.
Then on December 31, he threatened this Akash aka Amar Chowdhury, and that threat was realized today on Holi day in March. And the way this incident was carried out today, the police are initially thinking that there’s an old enmity behind it, a personal enmity exists, and they’re also checking if there’s any political enmity because the deceased Amar aka Akash Chowdhury was a third-year student at Barrackpore Mahadevnand College, and he was a member of the Trinamool Students’ Council there. Along with being in TMCP, he was close to the Ward 22 councilor.
The police officials are also probing if there was any political motive for this. What are Amar’s relatives saying? “Sister, how many were arrested? I was heading to the police station. I do not know what happened on December 31”. The directly threatened my brother saying, ‘We’ll kill you.’ Today during color play, they directly stabbed him here and here. My brother was a student. He was in Trinamool Congress Student Union, working for Bikash Singh. Raj Tiwari, Kanai Tiwari, and Pawan Rajbhar – Khardah police station has their entire record. The father and grandfather, Rajkumar Rajbhar, had threatened, ‘I will kill you.’ The boy was an honest boy, not anti-social. But the one who killed him was anti-social.
That implies the entire generation is anti-social. The boy who murdered him was in prison for years for smoking ganja. Then he was let out a few days ago. If the police probe well, many will be implicated. Those who are being implicated are anti-social. They had been drinking on December 31. There was some fight, and due to that, they murdered him today. There was a complaint lodged at Khardah too. After he came out of jail, he did this, or the three of them attacked one individual together. There could be injuries. They must have stabbed him with a knife, don’t know now. The victim was taken to the hospital. The victim is likely still in the hospital. And from the very location, we were able to arrest one individual. He’s already at the police station. We’re registering a case right away and have initiated the investigation.
We’re finding out what happened, what’s the truth behind the incident, who’s involved, why it was done. We’re collecting the rest of the evidence.” Meanwhile, in the Belgharia shootout case, the mastermind has been arrested. Arrested in the shootout case is Pam Indal Yadav. Indal Yadav was arrested by Belgharia police station police and presented in Barrackpore court. On Saturday, shots were fired targeting a Trinamool worker in Belgharia Ward 29. Bikash Singh was shot. A youth named Santu Das was also previously arrested in the shootout case, along with Vicky Yadav. [Music] [Praise] Let’s keep an eye on Howrah. Police attacked again. Police attacked while trying to stop illegal liquor sales. SI and constable attacked in Howrah.
Police operation in Howrah’s Bador area. Police personnel attacked during the operation. What exactly happened and when? I’ll give you more details. Ziaul is with me live. Ziaul, police attacked again during a police operation. How did youths attack there? How many have been arrested in this incident so far? “See, so far about five people have been arrested in this incident. About 8 to 10 people attacked the police. That is, the police had information around 2 PM that illegal liquor was being sold in Howrah’s Bador area.
A lot of domestic and foreign liquor was stored there. And the local people say that police have raided there several times before, but some people were still continuing the illegal business. And today, on Holi day, they got information that many people were standing in long lines there to buy liquor. Upon receiving this information, the police went there. As soon as the police arrived, about 8 to 10 youths suddenly attacked them, saying ‘Why is liquor being sold here? Why have the police come here? Why are the police disturbing us?’
TMCP worker called over in the name of color play and murdered in broad daylight in Titagarh!
Raising these allegations, they attacked the police. So far, five people have been arrested in this incident. Two police personnel were severely beaten – one constable and one police SI. When they received the information and went there, they were attacked. Then, upon receiving the news, a large police force went to the scene. They recovered a large amount of domestic and foreign liquor from a room there. So far, five people have been arrested in this incident, while several others who attacked and then fled are being identified by the police. Five people have already been arrested from Howrah’s Bador area.”
“Liquor used to be sold in black. That is why police used to conduct raids two-three times in advance on Holi day. Nevertheless, liquor used to be sold daily. Even after being warned by the police, they attacked the police and physically assaulted the police. That’s why they have been arrested. The officers used to warn them not to cause trouble. It’s not fair to disregard the officers’ instructions and attack them as they are government administration officials. They are our guardians. It’s not fair to attack them. It’s due to them that we are able to sleep peacefully in the night.”
Let’s look towards Bankura. See the chaotic situation in Bankura’s Joypur. Such a tense situation that police had to resort to lathi charge to clear the blockade. The situation became that heated. Police lathi charge in Bankura’s Joypur’s Bagha Jol area where tension spread. In Joypur, a dispute between two neighbors led to a blockade of the Bishnupur-Kotulpur state road. A long blockade. Police had to resort to lathi charge to clear it. Village minister injured in the lathi charge. “Our police came and lathi-charged everyone for no reason. That’s why… then they took away many cars. That’s why we were talking.” “When did they take them away?” “They took them today.”
