New Delhi, 15 April 2025: The recent communal violence in West Bengal's Murshidabad district and the brutal murder of a father-son has created a sensation across the country. News of the involvement of Bangladeshi infiltrators in this case spread rapidly on social media and some media reports. But did Bangladeshi citizens really carry out this violence? West Bengal Police has made some important revelations in this case. Let us know in detail about the truth of this incident and the police investigation with a fact check.

What is the whole matter?

A father and his son were brutally killed during the violence that erupted in protest against the Waqf Amendment Act on 9 April 2025 in the Jaffarabad area of ​​Murshidabad. According to locals, a mob broke into their house, dragged the two out and beat them to death. Tension spread in the area after the incident, and reports of arson in several houses and shops came to light.

Claims were made on social media that Bangladeshi infiltrators, who had entered Murshidabad via the India-Bangladesh border, were behind the violence. Some posts also said that the violence was planned and aimed at creating tension among local communities. These claims made the matter more serious, after which the Union Ministry of Home Affairs also sought a response from the West Bengal government to investigate it.

Police disclosure and arrests

The West Bengal Police has taken prompt action in this case and arrested two brothers, Kalu Nadar and Dildar Nadar. According to a senior police officer, both the accused are residents of Jafarabad and are members of the local community. Kalu was caught from Murarai in Birbhum district and Dildar from Suti near the India-Bangladesh border. The police identified them on the basis of CCTV footage and other evidence and called them the main accused in the murder.

The police also clarified that the investigation so far has not found any concrete evidence of the involvement of any Bangladeshi citizen in this murder or violence. A Special Investigation Team has been formed, which is investigating the matter in depth. The police said, "We are investigating from all angles, but the claims of the role of Bangladeshi infiltrators have not been verified yet."

With this, 221 people have been arrested so far in connection with this violence, most of whom are local people. The police have deployed additional security forces in the area and claimed to have controlled the situation.

Bangladeshi infiltration claim: Fact check

The claim of the involvement of Bangladeshi infiltrators started doing the rounds on social media and some reports on April 13, 2025, with sources in the Union Home Ministry saying that preliminary investigations suspected the role of Bangladeshi miscreants. However, the West Bengal Police refuted the claim, saying that the investigation was still in its early stages and it was too early to draw any such conclusion.

Reports of Bangladeshi infiltration in border areas like Murshidabad have been coming to the fore in the past few years. For instance, on April 12, 2025, a Bangladeshi national was arrested in Thane for staying illegally. But no concrete evidence has yet linked the Bangladeshi nationals to the murder and violence.

According to locals and police sources, the violence could be a result of anger and misunderstanding among local communities over the Waqf Amendment Bill. Some analysts believe that rumours spread on social media further inflamed the situation.

Political reactions and controversies

The incident has also created a stir in political circles. Union Minister Giriraj Singh commented on April 12, "Hindus are not being left safe in West Bengal under Mamata Banerjee's rule." At the same time, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) rejected these allegations and said that this violence was the result of a local dispute and it is wrong to give it a communal color.

#BengalViolence and #MurshidabadMurder are trending on social media. Many users questioned the alleged role of Bangladeshi infiltrators, while others called it the work of local criminal elements. One user wrote, "The police should bring out the truth as soon as possible, so that the rumours stop."

Conclusion

This tragic incident in Murshidabad has once again raised questions about security and social harmony in the border areas. The West Bengal Police has arrested two main accused and intensified the investigation. However, the claims of involvement of Bangladeshi infiltrators have not been verified yet, and the police have termed it as a preliminary rumour. It is important that such sensitive incidents are thoroughly investigated, so as to prevent social tension from escalating further. More revelations are yet to be made in this case, and all eyes are on the police investigation.
