A man who is the father of a volunteer with the Civil Justice Program (CJP) passed away after being attacked. The assault was reportedly connected to his attempts to bring attention to deficiencies in a local school’s infrastructure. The incident took place in West Bengal, where the volunteer was working to highlight the school’s facilities problems.
Police have opened an inquiry into the attack, and witnesses say the assailants were linked to the school’s administration. The death has drawn criticism from community groups who argue that activists should be protected when they raise public concerns.
The CJP, which works on civic and legal issues, has urged local authorities to ensure the safety of volunteers and their families. The case remains under investigation, with officials promising a thorough probe into the motives behind the assault.
