TMC leader accused ofsexual assault
A considerable number of women in Sandeshkhali have accused Shajahan Sheikh, a Trinamool Congress figure, and his supporters of land-grabbing and sexual assault under coercion.
Shajahan has been on the run since a mob, allegedly linked to him, attacked Enforcement Directorate officials during a raid related to a ration scam on January 5.
Simultaneously, the BJP released a documentary on social media, shedding light on the alleged sexual exploitation of women in Sandeshkhali.
The documentary, exceeding 20 minutes, features testimonies from women in Sandeshkhali sharing their distressing experiences.
The BJP accuses the TMC-led state government of attempting to conceal the purported crimes in Sandeshkhali. The party shared the documentary on its social media handles, emphasising the need to expose the truth behind the situation.
