On Thursday (7th August), goons belonging to the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) party kicked a pregnant woman and left her with critical injuries.
The incident occurred in Salmara village in Dinhata II Subdivision in Cooch Behar district of West Bengal.
According to reports, the pregnant woman is the daughter of a BJP worker in the village. Following the assault, the victim was rushed to the Cooch Behar Medical College Hospital.
The TMC goons were armed with lathis and bamboo sticks and launched an attack on the residence of BJP worker Jitendra Barman and kicked his pregnant daughter in the stomach.
As per the BJP president (Cooch Behar) Avijit Barman, the victims were attacked following a complaint against 42 TMC supporters including Udayan Guha.
TMC initially attempted to downplay the incident as a fallout of internal rivalry within the BJP. Later, it claimed that ‘locals’ beat up BJP workers for demanding Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and National Register of Citizens (NRC).
