Last year, on May 4 at around 2 p.m., unidentified individuals brutally beat up Das with sticks, a baton, and iron rods. When his wife intervened to save him, she too was brutally assaulted.
After the event, Das was taken to Dinhata Hospital and subsequently transferred to a different hospital in Cooch Behar, West Bengal, where he passed away on June 21, 2021 as a result of his injuries.
