In the wake of violent clashes in Murshidabad, West Bengal, a widow recounted the brutal killing of her husband and son during protests over the Waqf Amendment Act. Masked attackers stormed their home, pelting stones and destroying property. Another victim, Pradipta Pal, said his shop was vandalized and torched by a mob of 150-200 people. Despite repeated calls, police reportedly didn’t respond. The violence erupted on April 11 in Dhulian, killing three and injuring several. Over 150 arrests have been made. BJP's Sukanta Majumdar alleged riot calls were made from mosque loudspeakers, as many victims took shelter in Malda camps.
