Three of a family, including an eight months pregnant woman, were found dead in their blood-splattered house on Thursday in Jiyaganj area of Murshidabad in West Bengal.
The murders took a political turn after BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra tweeted the video of the crime scene and said the deceased Bandhu Prakash Pal was an RSS worker. He also took a dig at those activists and celebrities who recently wrote a letter to PM Modi on lynchings and hate crimes.
"This has shaken my conscience...an RSS worker Sh Bandhu Prakash Pal, his eight months pregnant wife and his kid were brutally slaughtered in West Bengal’s Murshidabad. Not a word by the liberals. Not a letter by 59 liberals to Mamata. Nauseating Selectivism!"
