BJP Worker Alleges Sexual Assault by TMC Workers During Panchayat Polls in West Bengal
West Bengal DGP Disputes Claims, Citing Lack of Evidence in Incident


In a shocking incident during the panchayat polls in West Bengal, a BJP worker from Howrah's South Panchala has come forward with serious allegations of sexual assault and violence perpetrated by TMC workers. The victim stated that she was dragged outside the polling booth by her hair, thrown down the stairs, and her clothes were ripped apart. She further revealed that she had to seek help from a nearby house to borrow clothes to wear after the horrifying ordeal.

Narrating her harrowing experience, the BJP worker expressed gratitude towards her husband, who was present during the incident and intervened to save her from further harm. She asserted that if her husband hadn't been there, the situation could have been much worse.

"I have filed an FIR in this incident," the victim confirmed, expressing her determination to seek justice for the assault she endured during the electoral process.


However, the incident has been met with conflicting responses from authorities. Earlier today, the West Bengal Director General of Police (DGP) stated that the available evidence does not corroborate the BJP worker's claims. The DGP asserted that there is no substantial proof to support the allegations of sexual assault and violence made against the TMC workers.

The case has now become a matter of contention, with political parties and law enforcement agencies involved in evaluating the veracity of the claims made by the victim. As the investigation unfolds, the incident highlights the tense and fiercely contested nature of the political landscape in West Bengal.

It is crucial that the authorities conduct a thorough and impartial investigation to ascertain the truth and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. In light of the severity of the allegations, it is essential to ensure the safety and security of all citizens, especially during election periods, where emotions can run high.

The incident adds to the already charged political atmosphere in the state and underscores the need for a fair and transparent electoral process that respects the rights and dignity of all individuals involved. The coming days will witness a close examination of the evidence presented, and it remains to be seen how the authorities will proceed with the investigation.
