West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar accused CM Mamata Banerjee of pressuring authorities to send the victims back.

Overview

  • West Bengal Police have arrested Ziaul Sheikh, the fourth suspect in the double murder of Haragobindo and Chandan Das, supported by CCTV and telecom evidence.
  • The arrests refute the state government's initial claim that 'outsiders' instigated the violence, as all suspects are identified as local residents.
  • The National Commission for Women (NCW) is finalizing a report advocating for victim rehabilitation and credits BSF for protecting women during the unrest.
  • Political tensions escalate as the BJP accuses Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of neglecting Hindu victims, while she blames BJP and RSS for exploiting the violence.
  • Schools have reopened and daily life is resuming under tight security, though displaced families face ongoing challenges in returning to their homes.
