The bodies of the two—identified as Harogobindo Das and Chandan Das—were found in their house in Jafrabad locality in Shamsherganj with multiple stab wounds.

"I will look into your requests. There are three to four suggestions. They have asked for BSF postings in the locality. I will take up the matter with the appropriate authorities. Some proactive action will definitely be taken. I have also shared with them the 'Peace Room' number (Raj Bhavan helpline)," Bose told reporters after visiting their residence.

Inconsolable family members of the deceased were seen falling to the governor's feet, pleading for justice. Later, after speaking to locals in Dhulian Bazar area, Bose said, "I have asked them (the victims) to feel free to talk to me. They want justice, and they will get justice," he asserted.
