The family members say they want to thank local residents and the police for their support. “Bapi is still a local hero. I had tears in my eyes when I saw the entire mohalla line up at the Alipore court to attend the sentencing,” says Bisakha Das, Bapi’s mother.
Abu Bakkar Dhali (who was the public prosecutor in this case) says the convicted men were involved in illegal activities in the area, such as selling ganja and misbehaving with women. Bapi started raising public support for police action against them. Infuriated, they decided to murder him.
“It seems just like yesterday. I fell on their knees, begged them to spare my child. They dragged him and then killed him. I stood at a distance even as my brother rushed forward. Now that justice has prevailed, I will spare none. If they go to a bigger court, we will oppose them tooth and nail,” Bisakha says.
