HOOGHLY ( WEST BENGAL) : Alleged appeasement of minorities in Bengal by the ruling party resulted in the rise of daring attacks on Hindu girls in recent times in different parts of the state.

A third year student of Sarat Centenary College in Dhaniakhali, Soumi Pal is battling for her life with serious throat injuries at a Kolkata hospital during the past two days.

She was brurally attacked with sharp weapon by her former boy friend Asgar Mullick who is a mill worker.

Asgar took revenge as Soumi wanted to end their relationship.

He suddenly entered the house of Soumi at night and pounced on her with a dagger. Asgar repeatedly stabbed Soumi around her throat. She fell in a pool of blood in her room. The Muslim youth fled.

The girl was initially taken to a local hospital from where she was shifted to Calcutta Medical College and Hospital in a critical condition. She is admitted with 16 stitches around her throat.

Dhaniakhali police station is looking for Asgar following a complaint by the girl’s family.

Political observers opine that appeasement of minorities by the ruling party resulted in daring attacks on Hindu girls due to Love Jihad.
