New Delhi: Coming down heavily on the Trinamool Congress-led government in West Bengal over a "horrific" video of a man assaulting a woman in Chopra in West Bengal's Uttar Dinajpur, Bharatiya Janata Party President JP Nadda said on Monday that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee' state is "unsafe for women."
"A horrific video has come to light from West Bengal, reminding of the brutalities that exist only in theocracies. To make matters worse, the TMC cadre and MLAs are justifying the act. Be it Sandeshkhali, Uttar Dinajpur or many other places, Didi's West Bengal is UNSAFE for women," Nadda posted on X.
The West Bengal police on Sunday filed a suo motu case and arrested one person in connection with the video in which a person is seen beating a woman at Chopra in the Islampur area of Uttar Dinajpur district.
"Police have arrested one person who had publicly assaulted a woman. Suo motu case filed. Victim has been provided police security. Investigation proceeds," a tweet from Islampur police district read.
According to the police, the arrested accused, identified as Tajmul Haque alias JCB, will be produced before the ACJM court in Islampur today.
Islampur Police District further said on X that "Efforts are being made from certain quarters to spread misinformation about an incident in Chopra PS under Islampur PD. The fact is, police has promptly identified and arrested one person who had publicly assaulted a lady."
"Suo moto case started by the police. Victim has been provided police security. Investigation proceeds," the tweet read.
In the purported video a man is seen beating a woman and another man with bamboo sticks and the incident that took place is being witnessed by a crowd of onlookers.
