Fresh violence in West Bengal's Murshidabad district over the Waqf Act, with one injured; police investigating BSF involvement.
Fresh violence was reported on Saturday (April 12, 2025) from West Bengal’s Murshidabad district with one person receiving a bullet wound, police said.
The incident happened in Dhulian in the Samserganj block of the Muslim-majority district. Large-scale violence was reported on Friday (April 11, 2025) from the Suti and Samserganj areas of the district during protests over the Waqf (Amendment) Act, they said.
Addressing a press conference in Kolkata, ADG (Law and Order) Jawed Shamim said the details of the incident are not available yet.
He said the local police may not have been involved in the incident of firing, and that “this could probably be from the BSF end”.
“These are early reports that we need to cross-check,” he said.
However, the injured person was admitted to a hospital and out of danger, Mr. Shamim said.
Following Friday's (April 11, 2025) violence, the BSF was deployed in a few areas of the district, which shares a border with Bangladesh. Mr. Shamim said 118 people have so far been arrested in connection with their alleged involvement in the incidents of violence.
