A strange turn of events brought on by one of the three women, who had filed a report of rape against the Trinamool Congress leaders in Sandeshkhali, Bengal, has retracted the charges. The woman said that
she was not assaulted, and she claimed that the local BJP personnel pressured her into signing a blank paper, but the newspaper reported that the woman filed a false complaint in Times of India.
The female dweller had now registered a fresh case at the Sandeshkhali police station pointing out threats and social stigmatization which the woman suffered from the day she decided to take back her charge of rape. She charges that a Vice President of the local BJP women’s wing and other party members intruded on the house and forced her to sign a false statement.
At first, he claimed that it concerned her entering the database of the government program. Later, he took her to the police station to ask her to complain of sexual harassment as a matter of formality. The female refutes the rumor of being raped inside the Trinamool office. Further, she maintains that she was never made to travel to the party office late as such a protection detail is necessary for a woman leader.
The infringed section of the case remains a political issue of high tension. Shashi Panja, Bengal’s women and child development minister, angrily pointed the BJP’s finger, noting that the party had coordinated the events and intimidated the women who wanted to withdraw their false complaints.
The leadership of the Trinamool Congress intends to file a complaint with the Election Commission based on the video in which a person claiming to be a key BJP figure alleges that BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari and other senior party members were involved in the plot to overthrow the constitutional government of West Bengal. Meanwhile, the case continues to twist, with the BJP rejecting the video as unrealistic and suggesting that it was known to be AI-generated.
