Agartala: May 08: A distressing incident unfolded in Ward No. 2 of Kanchanmala SB School, Kanchanmala area, under the Golaghat Assembly Constituency, where an elderly man suffered brutal mistreatment at the hands of his own son. The heart-wrenching episode has left the community in shock.
Raju Biswas, an elderly man, was physically assaulted by his son, Mantu Biswas, a few months ago. The attack resulted in broken bones in Raju’s hand and waist. Despite the severity of his injuries, Raju Biswas has received no proper medical attention. Instead, he remains bedridden, bound with ropes, and subjected to treatment worse than that given to animals, allegedly at the hands of Mantu Biswas and his mother.
Upon learning of this inhuman behavior, the head of Kanchanmala Gram Panchayat, Pradip Kumar Majumdar, visited Raju Biswas’s home. The sight of Raju’s suffering left the Gram Panchayat head visibly disturbed. Raju Biswas, desperate for relief, pleaded with Prodip Kumar Majumdar to free him from his deplorable situation. The Gram Panchayat has scheduled a meeting on Friday to address this incident. Prodip Kumar Majumdar, in a statement to reporters, emphasized that such behavior violates human rights and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
The local community demands swift action from the administration. The incident has sparked outrage, and residents are seeking justice for Raju Biswas.
Elder abuse remains a grave concern, and authorities must take decisive steps to protect vulnerable individuals within our society.
