Mamata Fumes Over Migrant Worker's Death in Odisha, Says 'Zero FIR' Filed, State Police Team Sent for Probe
Mamata condemned the "brutal oppression, harassment and violence" against Bengali-speaking people in "every BJP-ruled state." The migrant worker from the state was allegedly killed in Sambalpur district following an altercation over a bid on Wednesday.
In connection with the killing of the young man, Jewel Rana, the West Bengal Police have already "registered a zero FIR at Suti police station and arrested six accused," the Chief Minister said. "A police team from West Bengal has travelled to Odisha to carry out the investigation," she added.
"I strongly condemn the brutal oppression, harassment, and violence against Bengali-speaking people in every BJP-ruled state. We stand firmly with those migrant Bengali-speaking families, which have been intimidated, victimised, and subjected to inhuman treatment, and assure them of all possible support," Mamata said on X.
Referring to the Sambalpur incident, the Chief Minister said migrant workers from the Jangipur region in Murshidabad have faced severe atrocities in BJP-ruled Odisha. "It is deeply unfortunate that a young migrant worker from the Suti area of Jangipur in Murshidabad was again beaten to death in Sambalpur on December 24," she said on the social media platform.
Mamata claimed migrant workers from Muslim-majority Murshidabad are "now returning home in fear."
"We stand with the families affected by this tragic incident, and financial assistance will be extended to the family of the deceased," she said.
"We unequivocally condemn the perpetrators involved in such acts in BJP-ruled states and reiterate our commitment to provide all forms of assistance to the victims," the Chief Minister said. Speaking the Bengali language can never be a crime, the TMC supremo added.
