NEW DELHI: Haragobindo Das and his son Chandan Das were dragged out of their home and brutally killed with an axe in front of their family members during the communal violence that erupted in Murshidabad in April, police said in a chargesheet filed in the case.The police on Friday submitted a 900-page chargesheet before the Jangipur court, naming 13 accused in connection with the killings and the broader violence that rocked the district.According to the chargesheet, the victims, residents of Betbona village in Zafarabad, were among three people killed during the unrest, which broke out amid protests over the Waqf (Amendment) Act in the Muslim-majority district.Charges include murder, rioting, house-trespassThe 13 accused have been charged under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, including murder committed by a group, rioting, house-trespass, and house-breaking. Provisions of the Arms Act have also been invoked, a senior officer confirmed.The chargesheet outlines in detail how the accused forcefully entered the Das family’s home, attacked the father-son duo in full view of other family members, and later fled the scene. It also documents the police’s efforts to track down and arrest the suspects, some of whom went into hiding immediately after the crime.Communal unrest lasted days, over 300 arrestedThe violence, which engulfed parts of Murshidabad from April 8 to 12, led to large-scale arson and destruction of property. The situation grew so volatile that the Calcutta High Court had to intervene, ordering the deployment of Central Armed Police Forces to restore order.Police have since registered over 60 FIRs across the district and arrested more than 300 individuals in connection with the riots.The trial in the Das murder case is expected to begin soon, officials said, as the court begins examining the voluminous evidence submitted by officials.
