Traffic was
thrown out of gear while law and order was shattered and police remained
utterly confused, even perceived to back out – all these features resulting
from a wild rampage, led by Gulzar Zia, Trinamool Councilor of Ward No. 60
under Kolkata Municipal Corporation, and his son Sabbar Alam, ruled Chittaranjan
National Medical College in Kolkata on January 18 for hours. It has been
learnt, Pervez Alam, inhabitant of Jannagar area in Beniapukur and also suffering
from diabetes, has been undergoing medical treatment in the hospital for weeks.
He was also operated recently. On Saturday, Yasmin Begum and Hena Parvin, his
wife and daughter respectively, turned up in the hospital to render the midday
meal. However, the scheduled time for visitors in the hospital is between 9 am
and 11 am. Both of them entered after 11 am; private security guard asked them
to go out and all these led to a scuffle. What followed next were wild
allegations – while Yasmin and Hena held staff in the hospital as culpable,
security guard and staff blamed both women for the trouble. According to
police, problem started when Yasmin and Hena tried to enter without accredited visiting
cards.
Within a few
minutes, a large mob from the neighborhood and led by Gulzar Zia, Sabbar Alam
went on a rampage and also ransacked the hospital. A police outpost was also
plundered by the violent mob. It is alleged, some troublers even attempted to
molest policewomen. Police also struck
back and took four offenders into custody. But they were freed on bail soon due
to pressure of Gulzar Zia and his followers.
Relatives and
neighbors of Pervez Alam blocked CIT Road for hours as a mark of protest. The
blockade was lifted once protestors were assured of justice.
Even if Sabbar Alam and his confederate Ershad were arrested on January
19 in the morning, Gulzar Zia is on the run.
