Tapasi Malik,daughter of a landless agricultural worker of Singur , was gang-raped by CPI(M) cadres/goons and hired killers on 18 December last year. When her charred dead body was found, Left Front chairman Biman Bose said she was 'probably' a victim of failed romance – a concocted story quickly picked up by Chobbis Ghanta, a private TV channel which is more obedient to the CPI(M) than a servant and Ganashakti. CID team with a sniffer dog went there ostensibly for instigation but to hush up evidence etc (even the sniffer dog was not allowed to smell and move normally, preventing it to rush towards a spot inside the Tata Motors enclosure).A PIL to the HC of Calcutta led to a CBI probe months latter. On 28 June this year, Singur CPI(M) zonal committee secretary Suhrid Dutta and Debu Malik who, a CPI(M) functionary, spread the canard about the cause of death , were arrested for alleged involvement in the murder by the CBI,based on evidence.
CPI(M) central committee member and AIKS leader Benoy Konar who behaves like an incorrigibly lumpen element, now ridicules the poverty of Tapasi's father. Such men talks of people's democratic revolution. And leaders like Prakash Karat and Sitaram Yechury are too timid even to snap fingers at people like Konar. They are foot-lickers of Alimuddin Street, West Bengal CPI(M) headquarters.
The following is the front-page news on Konar's arrogant and indecent speech.
Konar targets Tapasi Malik's father (http://thestatesman.net/page.news.php?clid=1&theme=&usrsess=1&id=180879)

DANKUNI (Hooghly), Dec. 16: He is a firebrand Marxist known to target his political rivals with epithets which other politicians would prefer to avoid for fear of being criticised. Perhaps, for the first time, he has openly targeted a poor man of Singur who has practically nothing to do with politics.
The Marxist in question is the CPI-M's central committee member, Mr Benoy Konar, and the person he has targeted is Mr Manoranjan Malik, father of Tapasi Malik, who had to pay with her life for being courageous enough to participate in the anti-land acquisition movement at Singur.
The only offence of Mr Malik is that he has been running from pillar to post demanding punishment for his daughter's killers.
While addressing a CPI-M rally at Dankuni in Hooghly, Mr Konar said that Tapasi's father was "cashing in on" his daughter's death. "Tapasi was a burden for her father when she was alive. Her father had failed to arrange money for her education. Tapasi's father has now become a renowned person in the state and he now owns a mobile phone. He has been cashing in on his daughter's death," he said.
"Earlier, Tapasi's father would sell fish at a market in Chinsurah. He had no agricultural plots. Tapasi was a burden on him because she was unmarried. But now he is touring several places in the country. It seems money can buy even conscience and ethics," added Mr Konar.
The CPI-M central committee member, however, paid token homage to Tapasi by merely describing her death as "tragic and unfortunate". "However, I still do not know whether she was murdered or she committed suicide," he said.
While some elderly CPI-M supporters, who had gathered at the rally, condemned Mr Konar for his remarks against Tapasi's father, the young cadre cheered their leader for his bold stand.
