A Class VII student from a village in Raigunj died after being beaten up by his inebriated father. The incident triggered tension at Kalitala village. The local people alleged that the victim Sujan Roy, a student from Kashibati school in the area was badly beaten up by his father who was in an inebriated state. The only fault of the boy was that he returned home late in the evening after taking part in a match in the locality. The villagers also alleged that the accused, Subrata Roy was a regular drinker and often used to torture the victim. But this time, it took an ugly turn when the victim received severe injuries on his chest and abdomen. The local residents after hearing about the incident rushed to his rescue. They took the victim to the Raigunj district hospital and later shifted him to Malda Medical College and Hospital as his condition deteriorated. The victim succumbed to his injuries on early Sunday morning. The boy's maternal uncle's family lodged a complaint in the local police station against the accused. The police have arrested the accused father. The victim's mother also told the police that her husband used to torture their son regularly. She repeatedly requested her husband not to beat up their son in an inebriated state but he allegedly turned a deaf ear to her appeal.
