BJP accuses TMC, blocks National Highway
BJP General Secretary (Uttar Dinajpur) Surjit Sen said that Trinamool Congress is behind the abduction, rape, and murder of the minor girl. The official handle of the BJP unit of West Bengal tweeted that the 16-year-old girl was raped by one Feroze Ali. The tweet further added, “Did she pay the price of being the sister of the local BJP Booth President? And sadly, a state governed by a woman CM cannot protect its girls.”
