Mr. Shamim said that the process of returning people who fled their house in the Murshidabad district to the Malda district began and about 19 people returned to their homes. The police officer said that about 100 to 200 families fled by crossing the river and married at a school in Baishnabnagar in the neighboring Malda district.
The opposition political parties, especially the Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party, claimed that about 400 people from Murshidabad had to escape from their homes to escape violence.
Mr. Shamim, who expresses the hope that the normality will be restored first, said those who were responsible for violence 11 and 12 April will not be spared. To accuse opposition parties that members of outfits such as the forbidden Folk Front India (PFI) may be involved, the police officer said he was the subject of an investigation.
“In the last 15 days, so many events (in the state) have been planned and all events and festivals have been observed peacefully. The range of mobilization on Friday and Saturday (11 and 12 April) was so high and several fronts were open at the same time, so it was possible to achieve all places with the same intensity,” ADG said.
Mr. Shamim also described the lynching of two members of the same family in Dhulian as a “abominable crime” and said that those who were responsible would not be spared. In violence of the 12th and 18th April, three persons were killed, who police suffered injuries of violence that protested to protest the draft WAQF Act (amendment).
In Murshidabad, the situation slowly returned to normal with central armed police forces carrying out the route processes. Inspector CRPF Virendra Kumar Sharma, together with higher police officials, was also sent in the area. IG ordered the central forces to make route marches and build confidence between people.

Given that the situation in Murshidabad limited to normal, there was a tension in the Bhangar area near Kolkata. Supporters of the Indian secular fronts who wanted to issue parades against the draft law on WAQF (amendment) clashed with the police. Several police vehicles and motion were ignited in the area.
Police Kolkata did not allow the Indian secular front (ISF) supporters to organize any assembly and resort to accusations of batons to distract the crowds of the Basanti motorway – an important arterial road connecting the city with other districts in South Bengal.
The police removed vehicles and prevented the demonstrators from reaching Sealdah in the middle Calcutta. Several people suffered injuries in an argument with the police. The ISF assembly was organized by ISF MLA NAWSHAD SIDDIQUE. He ordered his supporters not to use any other flag except the national flag in the procession from Sealdah to Esplanade.
