In a deeply troubling incident, the Murshidabad violence has shaken the border region of West Bengal. What began as a clash over waqf land has now taken a more sinister turn. According to media reports, initial investigations suggest there may be a Bangladesh link behind the violence, raising concerns about cross-border terror planning.
Authorities are now exploring whether Bangladesh, under Muhammad Yunus’s interim government, is slowly heading down the same path as Pakistan—either supporting or turning a blind eye to extremist activities targeting people in neighbouring countries.
Murshidabad Violence: Was the Attack Planned Across the Border?
The violence broke out on a Friday near the India-Bangladesh border, intensifying suspicions of cross-border infiltration. As per sources, the use of bombs, crude weapons, and planned routes suggests that Bangladesh-based militant groups could be involved.
Media reports suggest that the Union Home Ministry is now actively looking into this possibility. The border’s porous nature and past incidents of smuggling and infiltration have long made this area vulnerable. Now, it seems that same vulnerability is being exploited to spread terror.
Hindu Families Targeted Over Waqf Dispute, Two Killed in Brutal Attack
The violence stemmed from waqf bill, but escalated into something far more sinister. Eyewitnesses say that organised mobs selectively targeted Hindu homes. Properties were looted. Houses were set on fire. In a horrifying turn of events, two people were allegedly beaten to death.
Despite being close to the attack site, the police failed to intervene on time. This delayed response has led to public outrage and questions over law enforcement efficiency during communal flare-ups in sensitive zones.
Bangladesh Link Deepens Fear - Is Dhaka Following Pakistan’s Path?
If the Bangladesh link is officially confirmed, this could drastically impact India’s border security strategy. Observers warn that Bangladesh may be sliding into the footsteps of Pakistan, which has a history of using militant proxies for cross-border operations. The role of Muhammad Yunus’s interim government in Dhaka is also under the scanner, raising fears of Bangladesh turning into a rogue state.
