The murder of a 35-year-old man, his pregnant wife and six-year-old son has shocked the town.

The incident happened in West Bengal's Murshidabad district on Tuesday. The bodies of the Bandhu Prakash Lal, who was a primary school teacher, his wife Beauty, and their son Arya were found at different locations of their residence, over 200 kms from Kolkata. The murder took place at noon on the day of Dussehra/Vijayadasami. The fact that Bandhu Lal joined the RSS a few days ago has made the BJP suspicious of political involvement in the murder. There have been no arrests or suspects in the killings so far. Graphic pictures and videos of the family's bodies have been doing the rounds on social media.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra posted a video along with the caption, "This has shaken my conscience ...a RSS worker Bandhu Prakash Pal, his eight months pregnant wife and his kid were brutally slaughtered in West Bengal's Murshidabad Not a word by the liberals Not a letter by 59 liberals to Mamata Nauseating Selectivism." Police have begun a formal investigation of the matter.
