West Bengal: Man killed for eating extra boiled eggs
At a community feast during Jagaddhatri Puja in Kamarpukur, Hooghly, 26-year-old Ramchandra Ghoshal was beaten to death after taking three boiled eggs instead of the one allowed per person.
The conflict started with a scuffle at the event and turned deadly when he was attacked again on his way home.
Police have arrested the main accused
Locals found Ghoshal unconscious and rushed him to the hospital, but he didn't survive.
His death has left the neighborhood shaken—he was the only son in his family and part of a local club.
Police have arrested the main accused, Raju Maiti, and are questioning others involved.
Despite nearby police presence and CCTV cameras, residents are upset about how such violence could happen during a festival.
Police have now increased security as they continue their investigation.
