BANKURA: A leader of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday gave the West Bengal government 10 days to arrest all those allegedly involved in the death of the father of a party volunteer in Bankura district and demanded a probe into the conduct of police personnel at the local police station.CJP leader Ashutosh Ranka, who arrived at Karishunda village in Indas along with associates from Delhi, met the family of the deceased and spoke to his son, Abdul Hafiz, whose father allegedly died following an attack at their home, according to news agency PTI.Ranka demanded that the government ensure security for the bereaved family and invoke all relevant sections of law against the accused.“We are giving the Bengal government 10 days. All the accused should be arrested and sent to jail within this period, and all necessary legal sections should be invoked against them,” Ranka told reporters after meeting the family.He also called for a court-monitored investigation into the role of personnel posted at Indas police station, alleging that the police administration had not adequately supported the family.Ranka said the family had declined government compensation and that Hafiz had instead sought the construction of an international-standard school in his father’s name.“He has said that an international-standard school should be built in his father’s name. We appeal to the Bengal government to fulfil this demand,” Ranka said.Speaking in the presence of the CJP leader, Hafiz said such a school would be a fitting tribute to his father and could become a model of public mobilisation around education.Ranka said the CJP would provide financial assistance to Hafiz and announced a statewide “School Thik Karo” (Fix the Schools) campaign.“If the accused are not arrested within 10 days and our other demands are not met, we will gherao the district administration office and subsequently launch a larger agitation,” he said.He also alleged that Hafiz and his mother were aware of some other suspected persons who had not yet been arrested.CPI(M) leader Shatarup Ghosh, who also visited the family, criticised the BJP and its state leadership over the incident.He questioned the government’s claims of curbing criminal activities and alleged that persons linked to the BJP were involved in the attack.Ghosh also raised concerns over the condition of the family’s house and the road leading to the village, saying the family wanted meaningful support rather than financial compensation alone.However, he said the present government could not be held responsible for alleged shortcomings in the education system as it had been in power for only about three months.The victim, Janab Mafik, died at Burdwan Medical College and Hospital on Saturday night, two days after the alleged assault. He was initially taken to the Indas Block Primary Health Centre after being found seriously injured and was shifted to Burdwan Medical College on August 15 after his condition deteriorated.According to the CJP, its volunteer Shaik Abdul Hafeez, 25, had returned from Delhi after participating in the party’s nationwide protest on July 19. On August 13, he visited Karisunda West Para Primary School as part of the party’s “School Thik Karo” campaign to document deficiencies in government school infrastructure.The incident has sparked a political confrontation in West Bengal, with the BJP denying any organisational link to the attack even as police have arrested eight people.Police said the arrests followed a written complaint lodged by the victim’s wife, Hasina Begum, at Indas police station on Sunday. She named five persons and alleged that 10 to 15 people were involved in the attack.Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday said three of the five persons named in the complaint had been arrested and five others detained.Police said the complaint was received around noon and all eight accused were subsequently arrested. They were produced before the Bishnupur sub-divisional court, where police sought their custody.The family has alleged that Mafik was beaten to death during the attack.
