Sheikh Abdul Hafiz is 25 years old. On August 13, as part of the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) “School Thik Karo (fix the schools)” campaign, he walked into the government primary school in Karisunda that he had once attended and asked to inspect it for the most basic of amenities. Hours later, his family was attacked at home. Eight have been arrested, including a BJP leader. His father, Sheikh Mohammad Mafik, died of his injuries on August 15.

Abdul Hafiz spoke to The Wire from Bankura, where he is currently staying.
