Hindus attacked

A relative named Chitradeep Das informed The Indian Express, “Today (17th April) was the shradh ceremony. We had asked a purohit (priest). But he said he can’t come because it is a security issue.”

Journalist Pankaj Prasoon was heard saying, "They have made these markings so that rioters can know which house needs to be bombed and which house needs to be set ablaze."

On being asked whether he was attacked for performing Charak Puja rituals, the victim said, "It is quite possible."

One Hindu woman said that bombs were being hurled in Murshidabad, prompting her to flee her home. Another woman said, “They told us that Modi passed the Bill (Waqf Amendment), and so we will not allow any Hindus to live here.”

Hundreds of Hindus were seen leaving Dhuliyan in urshidabad on a boat across the Ganga river to the town of Par Lalpur in Kaliachak III subdivision of Malda district.

An eyewitness confirmed to India Today that Muslims set fire to an ambulance and assaulted the driver of the vehicle. "We were scared and sitting inside our homes. I had kept my parents, wife and children at home," he narrated.
