How can people be so inhuman ? Mamata on the murder of Muslim labourer in Rajasthan

Kolkata/New Delhi, Dec 7 (IBNS) : Condemning the horrific murder of a Muslim labourer in Rajasthan, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday wrote on Twitter: “How can people be so inhuman. Sad.”

The labourer, Afrazul Khan,  was hacked and then burnt alive over an alleged affair.

His family, which lives in West Bengal’s Saiyadpur, Malda district, has demanded the guilty be hanged.

The police found the body and identified the victim as Mohammed Afrazul, 48.

A  video went viral on social media that shows a man, who the police identified as Afrazul, being hacked to death.

The main accused in the case, Shambhulal Regar, was arrested and his 14-year-old nephew, who filmed the crime, detained.

CPI(M) General secretary Sitaram Yechury also was among those who condemned the killing.

Yechury claimed the killing was a result of the “atmosphere of hate and communalism fostered by the ideology of the Sangh Parivar”.

“Modi govt and BJP state govts refuse to act and their inaction patronises such barbarity,” he tweeted.

Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajasthan in-charge, Kumar Vishwas mocked Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje saying “even shame is embarrassed, but not you”.

“Queen Vasundhara, this is the black earnings which your incapable government and intelligent people have given to this country of love. Even shame is embarrassed, but not you,” he said.
