00:35and proprietary orders under Section 163 are enforced across sensitive areas.
00:41In response to the unrest, the Calcutta High Court has ordered
00:44the deployment of central forces in violence hit Murshidabad.
00:49Both the state and the centre are expected to submit a joint report on the situation.
00:54Meanwhile, 23 senior police officers, including 10 DSPs,
00:58have been deployed in the district for the next four days to maintain law and order.
01:09Now, violence swept through parts of Bengal during the latest Waqf riots,
01:14leaving three dead and many families devastated.
01:17A Hindu father and son were dragged from their home and hacked to death in front of neighbors.
01:25Survivors described the horror of that night,
01:27claiming that Hindu homes were selectively targeted.
01:47when the police were arrested all the time and declared a police officer as a policeman.
01:48Since the center wasだからed by the police,
01:49they were attacked by the police.
01:50They were fired around on the street to the police.
01:52They were media hora and mailed to the police.
01:52They were named after the police.
01:53The police came and called back to the police.
01:53They have taken a scene the police.
01:54They were cuz and did not statistically have to stop yet.
01:56So I did.
01:56At least the police have taken off because there were comfortable
01:58and the police have come up.
01:58Also, the police have been taken off as a terrorist system.
02:00They have taken off as a police officer and the police have turned on for the crime.
02:01Don't be active as the police have come up.
02:02The money is made from the previous server, the judiciary and the production unit.
02:07This is a source of income and the housing investment.
02:10The property is made from the republican government.
02:20But the property is made by the owner.
02:24This is called huge twice as an average of 12 minutes.
02:27At this Jafarabad village in Shamshirganj area of Murshidabad, we are at the house of Horogobindo Das and his son Chandan Das.
02:44Both of them were hacked to death by a mob which attacked their house right in the morning on Saturday.
02:54They are the two victims of the Murshidabad riots that have ravaged this district and most specifically the Dhulian Shamshirganj area in the past 48 hours.
03:07You can see at the house right now, even though the BSF Jawans are manning it, this is the kind of carnage that was witnessed by the family
03:17which has not just resulted in the destruction of property but also the death of two members of this very family.
03:26Horogobindo Das and his son Chandan Das were taken out of this house, pulled out, beaten up and hacked to death.
03:35The door was broken, people barged into the house, there was massive stone pelting, there were women and children inside the house
03:42and when they tried stopping the attack, when they tried resisting, they were beaten up, they were overpowered, they were dragged out and then they were hacked to death.
03:53The family members say that their frantic calls to the administration and the police went unanswered.
04:00The administration of course recovered the body and has been sent for post-mortem at this point in time.
04:05The hapless family is crying for justice.

04:14Meanwhile, at least 500 people, mostly women and children from violence hit Murshidabad have taken refuge at a school in Malda.
04:23Fleeing the unrest, many crossed a river by boat to reach safety.
04:29Among them are infants as young as three days old and elderly women.
04:34Local residents have opened their doors providing both shelter and food to those displaced by the ugly violence.
04:42This is the thing in the middle of the house.
