Kolkata, Oct 10 (TIWN) Three members of a family, including an 8-year-old child, was found killed in the Jiaganj area of West Bengal's Mursidabad district. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has claimed that the deceased Bandhu Pal was its worker.

The bodies of Bandhu Prakash Pal, a 35-year-old primary school teacher, his wife Beauty, 30, and young son Arya were found in different parts of their blood-splattered home in Jiaganj, about 210 km from Kolkata, around noon on the day Vijayadashami and Dussehra were being celebrated.  The woman was reported to be pregnant.  There have been no arrests in the case so far but the police say they are investigating several angles. One of their theories is that all three may have been drugged before being knifed.  The murder has taken a political turn with the BJP and its ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) claiming Bondhu Pal had recently joined the RSS.  The news as well as graphic photos and a video of the bodies are in wide circulation on social media.
