The Trinamool Congress MP, who was jailed for spreading fake news, had mocked the legacy of freedom fighter Veer Savarkar repeatedly between 2019 and 2021.

"He (Newton Das) must be a voter in Bangladesh. He was born there. He had come to India after Covid-19 outbreak to settle some land disputes. I do not know where he lives now. I don't know how he became a voter here," the accused's brother Tapas Das told TV9 Bangla.

The legal impasse regarding OBC commenced when the Calcutta HC annulled 1.2 million OBC certificates in May 2024.

The Supreme Court has recently slammed Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers and cancelled the bail of five person who were accused of targeted families for supporting BJP during the 2021 in West Bengal, saying such incidents were "grave attacks on the roots of democracy".

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on Mamata Banerjee government on Thursday and said West Bengal needs freedom from "politics of violence, appeasement, riots and corruption" and that the people are looking towards "BJP's development model".

The TMC leaders met Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah as visited the residence of National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah. The TMC delegation met the family of retired army officer Amarjeet Singh who was killed in Pakistani shelling on 8th May.

A Calcutta HC-appointed probe has found TMC councillor Mehboob Alam responsible for orchestrating targeted communal violence against Hindus in Murshidabad.

The police, alongside the Rapid Action Force (RAF,) were equipped with tear gas vehicles in advance to quell democratic protests against the Mamata government.

"We are writing this from a hidden location, not only fearing the threats of the ruling party but also the police who are continually threatening us," the wife and daughter-in-law of Haragobindo Das said.
