Muzaffarpur hospital blaze kills 3 patients, leaves 20 injured
Amid the ongoing tension over the SIR and NRC in West Bengal, another person has reportedly committed suicide. The latest victim is a woman from Barrackpore's Titagarh area. She has been identified as Kakoli Sarkar. This is the third case of suicide over the NRC row.
On October 27, 57-year-old Pradeep Kar of Panihati, Khardaha, died by suicide, leaving a note that read, “NRC is responsible for my death.” On October 28, a 63-year-old man from Dinhata, Cooch Behar, attempted to take his life, citing harassment under the SIR process.
The very next day, a 95-year-old Khitish Majumder from Kotwali, Paschim Medinipur, living with his daughter in Ilambazar, Birbhum, ended his life, gripped by the fear that he and his family might be dispossessed of their land.
