Unable to resist the urge to pick some mangoes, Sudipta went to pick some of the fruits from the ground. However, unfortunately for him, the orchard’s owner Sheikh Farhad Mandal was present at the spot, and he saw Sudipta picking the mangoes. He caught the minor boy and started to beat him brutally. Seeing this, Sudipta’s friends got scared and they fled.
When they informed the villagers and returned to the spot, Sudipta was found lying unconscious near the mango orchard. He was immediately taken to a hospital in Naihati, but it was too late, as doctors said that he had already died. It is alleged that after beating Sudipta, Farhad strangled him to death.
The incident led to tension in the area since Thursday evening. On Friday morning, the enraged villagers gathered at Farhad’s mango warehouse, and set it on fire. They also blocked the Kalyani Expressway and started a protest.

His was killed because his cousin is a booth-level worker of the BJP. Sudipta Pandit’s crime was that he was a Hindu.’ Pandey added that police can’t protect Hindus in West Bengal, and Hindus in the state must unite to survive.
