What happened in Murshidabad beldanga ?
On January 18, 2026, Beldanga in Murshidabad district, West Bengal, saw a fresh wave of violence and protests. The trigger was reports (and rumors) of an assault on a 22-year-old local migrant worker named Anisur Rahman in Bihar's Majhyampur area. He returned home injured on Friday and is being treated at Murshidabad Medical College and Hospital. Protesters demanded justice and action over this incident, as well as broader concerns about attacks on migrant workers from the region in other states.Key events included:Large crowds blocked National Highway 12 (NH-12) at Barua More/Barua intersection for about four-and-a-half hours, causing major traffic disruptions and stranding vehicles.
Protesters vandalized properties, set fires (arson), damaged a state transport bus (injuring at least five passengers who were hospitalized), and attempted to disrupt railway services by blocking/damaging a level crossing on the Sealdah-Lalgola section.
Police resorted to lathicharge (baton charge) and tear gas to disperse the mob.
The situation was brought under control within about 30 minutes to an hour in key spots, with heavy deployment of police and Rapid Action Force (RAF).
Around 30 people were arrested on the spot, and more identifications/arrests followed via CCTV footage (over 100 identified in related reporting). The prime accused in some related violence (including prior journalist assaults) was named as Matiur Rahman, accused of inciting crowds.
This followed similar protests on January 16–17 over the death of another migrant worker, Alauddin Sheikh (around 30–36 years old), found dead (hanging) in Jharkhand's Daltonganj area, which protesters claimed was suspicious/murder. That earlier unrest also involved highway/rail blockades, stone-pelting, and assaults on journalists (including a woman journalist from Zee 24 Ghanta who was injured).By January 18 evening and into January 19, the situation in Beldanga was reported as normal, with shops reopening, police conducting route marches, and community leaders being engaged. Political reactions included blame games: TMC leaders accused BJP instigation, while opposition (BJP) highlighted lawlessness and targeted attacks (including on media).Overall, the unrest stemmed from tensions over safety of Bengali-speaking migrant workers from Murshidabad in other states, escalating into vandalism, blockades, and clashes with authorities.
recent reports (especially from late 2025 into January 2026) highlight a pattern of rising attacks, detentions, and violence targeting Bengali-speaking migrant workers — particularly Muslims from districts like Murshidabad — in states like Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, and others. These are often linked to suspicions of them being "Bangladeshi infiltrators" or "Rohingya," fueled by political rhetoric, identity verification drives, and local vigilantism.Key reported figures and incidents include:According to the Migrant Labourer Unity Forum (also called Parijayi Sramik Aikya Manch), an organization assisting affected workers:95 migrant workers from West Bengal were attacked across India in the past nine months (as of early 2026, covering roughly mid-2025 onward).
At least 14 migrant workers from Murshidabad district alone died in other states since December 2025, including cases of mob lynching.
Specific high-profile fatal incidents (mostly in BJP-ruled states, as alleged by TMC leaders and activists):Juyel Rana (19, from Murshidabad) — lynched in Sambalpur, Odisha (December 2025).
Juel Sheikh / similar names — killed in Odisha.
Alauddin Sheikh (from Beldanga, Murshidabad) — found dead (alleged murder staged as suicide) in Jharkhand (January 2026).
Anisur Rahman (22) — assaulted in Bihar (January 2026, survived but injured).
Other cases: Detentions of hundreds in Odisha (over 300 Bengali Muslim migrants detained as suspected Bangladeshis by December 2025), assaults in Rajasthan, Mumbai arrests, etc.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and TMC leaders have repeatedly claimed that such attacks and torture occur mainly in BJP-ruled states for "speaking Bengali," linking it to broader anti-migrant and anti-Muslim sentiments. Opposition parties and some reports counter that law and order issues or local tensions play a role, but the narrative has sparked protests in areas like Beldanga.These numbers come from activist groups, media reports, and political statements —
