A Trinamool Congress block president in Cooch Behar district, Abdul Kader, has been arrested for alleged violence and molestation. The arrest took place in Guriahati II gram panchayat areas on Monday. Kader faced accusations of vandalism, looting, and molestation before the West Bengal Assembly elections.
This arrest follows another high-profile case where Shuvankar Dey, the Trinamool President for Cooch Behar Block II, was arrested for an attack on the convoy of Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari. The recent crackdown on political violence in the region has led to discussions in political circles.
The BJP-led government’s actions against Trinamool Congress leaders have intensified since taking office. Several arrests have been made, including that of Shantanu Majumdar alias Mejo, a Trinamool Congress councillor in Baranagar Municipality. The police have been actively pursuing cases against individuals accused of criminal activities.
In a series of arrests, Trinamool Congress leaders have faced legal actions. Notably, Bhishmadev Karmakar was arrested for obstructing Congress leader Adhir Chowdhury’s campaign. These incidents have sparked debates on the political landscape in West Bengal.
