Police Commissioner Cut to Pieces

This is another chilling incident of another area of Kolkata known as Gardenreach Area. It was the occasion of Hindu festival of holi. In this area a minor clash took place between the Muslim and Hindu ruffians. It is said that some Hindu ruffians had chopped off a branch of a tree from the compound of Muslim family. Exchange of hot talks lead to brick batting with others joining the issue. Mr. I.S Mehta the district commissioner of police undertook a patrol of the area as a preemptive measure in the evening when dusk was about to settle. He entered the narrow lanes of the area with a battalion of armed police left far behind. He was a little ahead of them with his two bodyguards with him. They Mr. Mehta and his bodyguards seemed vanished into the thin air. The other day his body and those of his bodyguards were recovered from an abandoned dilapidated structure in a badly dilapidated condition. The criminals and ruffians of the area predictably made good with their escape. The people of the area who were living in perpetual and endemic terror of the criminals now were the target of indiscriminate torture of the police. Men women and children would stand in long queues during evening hours to receive beatings in the police stations and out posts. Men after men and women after women come out from the police station crying. Double victims. The perpetuator Md Idris was arrested from the village of one Forward Block minister in West Bengal Assembly. His nexus with the minister was well known.But what made him and his gang members to take such an extreme step is still a mystery. He died in custody the next day before spilling the beans
