Muslim goons brutally murder Kartick Chandra Mehtia

This is a report from the ground in South 24 Paraganas district, West Bengal. This report contains some graphic and disturbing pictures published. Readers’ discretion advised. 

Meet Kartick Chandra Methia, owner of the sweet shop, Rittika Sweets at Jagannathpur junction of Sararhat on Falta road falling under the Falta Police jurisdiction, South 24 Parganas dist.

On 29 March 2014, six unidentified bike-borne miscreants from the nearby Muslim-dominated Sonakopa village entered his shop, shot the 42 year old Kartick Methia, with their pistols. After this, they chopped the victim with swords. Although it was late in the evening, there were some customers and workers in the shop. But they were unable to stop the miscreants in the face of crude bombs that were hurled. 

Kartick Chandra Methia as a very successful businessman and a well known social worker. He also used to help various social organisations.

Following his brutal murder, a massive crowd of locals blocked the Falta Road. They shouted slogans against the miscreants and against the police. The whole Sararhat market was closed in protest. A heavy police force arrived on the spot led by DSP Sakir Ali and OC Sudip Singh. They tried to defuse the tension and remove road block. 

However, the local Hindu populace have very little faith in these two officers, and were in no mood to hear their plea. These two officers are allegedly hand in glove with local criminals and these criminals get political shelter because of their minority status.

Kartick Methia leaves behind three daughters who are now inconsolable. His eldest daughter Monalisa Ghosh was openly cursing the police. In a short while, Diamond Harbour SDO Smt. Moumita Saha arrived at the spot. Kartick Methia’s shop has a CCTV camera, which has captured the entire incident making it relatively easy to identify the culprits and solve the case.

However, local Hindus have very little faith in administration. Their experience of the Left-front protected notorious criminal Salim is still fresh; what’s more, his atrocities continue unabated under Mamta Banerjee’s tenure as well. 

Kartick Methia was a courageous man who stood as a stonewall against Islamic expansionism in the area. In the nearby grounds of “Rash Math”, where many Hindu festivals and Islamic ‘Jalsa’ are held, local Muslims reportedly are trying to build a mosque. Their efforts failed due to Kartick Methia’s bold leadership of the local Hindus.

Now, after his brutal murder, local Hindus fear that just like the neighbouring Mograhat Block during the CPM rule, the Falta block too will witness large scale Hindu migration from the area. 

Postscript: The body of Kartick Methia was kept for public viewing in his sweet shop. Only the face of the corpse was displayed while the rest of the body is fully covered. The marks of injury on the body are apparently too gruesome to be displayed to the public.

    Is it West Bengal or West Bangladesh? Going by the declining law and order situation it seems more like the latter. By the time these stupid sickular commies come to their senses and understand the situation, it might be too late.

    If this incident would have been that, “Six hindu youths barged in a sweets shop and killed the muslim owner of the shop by shooting at him and then dismembered his body with swords because he was leading the protests against the construction of a temple that was being built by the hindu majority community in that locality on public property, the whole incident is captured on CCTV but still no action has taken place.” All the parties would be debating this in parliament, media would be playing the cctv footage ad-nauseum, every newspaper from where to london to New york would be asking PM Modi to take responsibility etc. but since the aggressor are muslims, this one needs to be brushed under the carpet, this one is not worthy of our attention. Secularism at work.

    Under Left rule more than 50k deaths of Hindus got mostly unreported thanks to Left liberal media and socialistic Congress rule. Even though Mamta stood against Left misrule, she has now took the mantle of promoting muslims at the cost of Hindu population. She visits masjids, offer Namaaz, wear Burqa etc to appease. She rewarded all imams with hikes in salaries, she doesnt even care for Hindu temples. In schools she distributes cycles to muslim girls but deliberately omits Hindu students. HT reported the news.

    So it is upto the Hindus living in the state to come together to oppose such blatant appeasement politics of Left, Congress and TMC. Choose a better party which can atleast stand beside them and support their issues. It its time they vote for BJP and Modi.
