Five years have passed by after the senseless and tragic loss of my sister, Papiya. Over this time I have had to accept that I will not be able to see her or get a bear hug (as she used to call her hugs) from her. Yet it is difficult for me to think of Papiya in the past tense.
She used to live alone in our parental house after the passing of our mother. Malti Devi who had been a domestic help in our house since 1964 was also tragically murdered at the same time as Papiya. I used to worry about the possibility of robbery in the house. However, I had never imagined that Papiya and Malta’s lives would be extinguished in such a violent manner. Our hometown has not witnessed a crime of this nature as far as recalled by octogenarians who have lived at Patna almost all their lives. Yet there has been hardly any consistent expression of quest for investigations for this outrageous crime in the local civil society or in the local media.

It has been more than a week, Professor Papiya Ghosh, the noted historian from Patna was brutally murdered, yet the police haven t been able to find any leads.
NDTV broke the news about the death of Papiya Ghosh and we saw her sister Tuktuk Ghosh, an IAS officer and an Officer on Special Duty attached to the Office of Lok Sabha Speaker, Somnath Chatterjee, break down while giving details about the gruesome way she was murdered. Tuktuk said that she would be approaching the prime minister, asking for his assistance. We also saw the Director General of Police, Patna, laughing insensitively while explaining that such crimes are not uncommon and his police are trying their best to catch the culprits.
