Police couldn't prevent the murders and are now stopping us from cremating the bodies.""We have been stopped at three places. I have already assured that there will be no marches. We will peacefully take the bodies to the party office so that others can pay their tribute before their cremation at the designated place," said Sinha.He also said that they are ready to proceed to the party office even in a police cordon, but stopping them like this was unacceptable."We are also ready to proceed further under police cordon.
