A delegation of congress leaders led by district president BP Singh met Kunti Devi and family who have been on fast for the last three days at Randhir Verma square demanding justice for the family.
The family members including her husband Ashok, son Sumit and two daughters Sunita and Nitu are on indefinite fast to protest the high-handedness of BJP MLA Dhullu Mahto who has blocked the entrance of their shop outside Ram Temple at Chitahi village under Baghmara block by parking a tanker despite directive of the administration .
While assuring help, Singh even questioned from SDM Dhanbad , CO Baghmara and office incharge of Barora PS that when section 144 of Cr PC was imposed how come the vehicle was parked hitting the livelihood of the family that has a small shop outside the temple that was source of income for the family.
He also expressed concern over the indifferent attitude of district and police officials who failed to deliver justice for the family despite repeated petitions at different levels. Singh said the matter would be placed before ministers of the party in Cabinet so that justice reaches the family.
Senior party members were present during the conversation with the congress president.
