IN a major breakthrough, two key accused in the brutal killings of a father-son duo in Murshidabad during the recent violence over Waqf (Amendment) Act were arrested by a joint team of West Bengal STF and Jharsuguda police in the early hours of Monday in Bandhabahal outpost limits here.
The two siblings, Bani Israel and Sefaul Haque, both residents of Sulitala village in Murshidabad district of West Bengal, were prime suspects in the murder of Chandan Das (40) and his father Haragobinda Das (72).
The father-son duo was brutally hacked to death on April 13 by a mob during violent protests against the new Waqf Act in Jafrabad village under Samserganj police station in Murshidabad district.
The murders had triggered widespread tension in the region. Additionally, six others who were allegedly involved in the violent protests were also detained in a subsequent raid in the area.
