The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has condemned the West Bengal government and the Trinamool Congress for an alleged attack on a member of the National Commission for Women (NCW) investigating a sexual assault case in Uttarpara, Hooghly district. Amit Malviya, BJP’s Information Technology Cell chief, highlighted an incident where individuals linked to the Trinamool Congress reportedly tried to intimidate NCW member Dr. Archana Majumdar, who was probing rape cases in the state, including the recent sexual assault of a minor in Uttarpara.
Malviya, in a social media post, criticized the growing lawlessness in West Bengal, stating that such threats against investigators were not isolated incidents. He shared a video of the incident, emphasizing that targeting a constitutional authority like Dr. Majumdar reflects the fear and desperation of the TMC to suppress investigations into crimes. He described the situation as a form of mob rule rather than governance, questioning the protection granted to criminals while those seeking justice are intimidated.
In a separate post, Malviya mentioned the arrest of Trinamool Congress associate Bullet Khan in connection with the suicide of a BLO in Murshidabad district. Khan’s alleged refusal to repay a loan to the deceased BLO led to the latter’s mental distress. Initially, the Trinamool leadership attributed the death to SIR-related pressure, staging protests in Kolkata. However, investigations revealed Khan’s involvement, leading to his arrest on Monday.
Highlighting Khan’s arrest, Malviya accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress of distorting facts for political gain. He criticized the party for spreading misinformation and manipulating the truth to suit their agenda.
