I want the culprits of my baby to be hanged till death, appeals mother of Dhrubajyoti

August 9: In the wee hours of Wednesday when a couple were in deep sleep, their 5-month-old baby, who was sleeping with his parents, was kidnapped from their house in Sonai Kajidahar area after the abducters gained entry by breaking the window panes. The kidnappers demanded ₹ 10 lakh as ransom from the family. However, as per reports, the baby was strangled to death on that very day of kidnapping.

Though the kidnappers made ransom calls in order to divert probe or maybe try and extract some money, the ransom doesn’t seem to be the main motive. The involvement of an insider, a close relative of the baby has now come up to the forefront. Meanwhile, political leaders, ministers have assured a seedy prove and nab all connected with this heinous crime.

However, the parents who have lost their child is still in deep trauma. The mother who has not been able to have a wink of sleep since the kidnapping occured has been in a deep ocean of grief. Tears makes way out of eyes non-stop. Anger has even cropped up among the people of this valley. Netizens too are angered and formed a Facebook Page, “Justice for Dhrubajyoti.” On behalf of this group, social activist Pallabita Sharma went there and had a conversation with the mother of that baby.

While expressing her views, Pallabita Sharma said, “The main intention to talk with the mother is to make all feel her state of mind and also to make public the demand raised by the mother whose light of life has been snatched away forever. We all have children at our homes. The brutality exhibited by so-called human beings is perhaps a warning bell for all of us to be more aware in order to avert any similar incidents.”

“I want strict punishment for those who have killed my baby. My pain and the loss which I have suffered can never be compensated, but atleast if the culprits are nabbed and given strict punishment, that would alleviate by grief to some extent. I demand capital punishment for those criminals who has snatched away by baby forever from me. I would appeal all to help me get justice.”

Unfortunately, as it is said, “Public memory is very short”, so many such incidents goes behind the memory of the people at large and the miscreants/ criminals remain beyond the reach of law. In another kidnapping case of a baby girl Trisha, the child was rescued but the domestic help Neha Bagti’s could not be traced out till now. Photo journalist Molin Sharma was also ruthlessly killed by a tipper. Till date, the police has failed miserably to trace the killer tripper. Such instances could be multiplied. It could only be hoped that Dhrubajyoti’s incident does not vanish from public memory and constant pressure be mounted so that justice can be delivered to the unfortunate mother who lost her whole world.
