How Bengal workers escaped Delhi violence

As violence, arson and lynching ruled the streets of Maujpur in Delhi on Monday night, 11 labourers from Murshidabad, who had gone to the capital for work, managed to escape the mob and return to their one-room accommodation in a “Hindu neighbourhood” at Ghonda Chowk, barely a kilometre from the riot-torn zone. The next 48 hours were living hell for them, as they remained hidden inside a dingy storeroom without food or sleep, waiting for help to arrive. They, along with two others, were finally rescued on Wednesday night and sent back home in Naoda, Murshidabad
