Fifty-year-old Afrazul also worked as a labour contractor facilitating fellow villagers from Malda’s Sayadpur village in West Bengal find work here. They earlier lived in Kakoli, another area of the district and had moved into this house just over a month ago. “The only vice, he had was that he used to smoke bidis,” says Inaul Sheikh, Afrazul’s nephew who stays in the same accommodation. At 11:30am, he called to say that some labourers need to transfer money back home and needed his help,” he said. When Inaul reached the spot, police had cordoned off the area where the charred body of his uncle was lying.
