While accusing the ruling TMC government of Muslim appeasement, the BJP added, "No power in the world can stop the Hindus of Bengal from celebrating Ram Navami. This year, the processions will be bigger and more spirited. Jai Shri Ram."

"The attack was led by a local Trinamool Panchayat member, where Muslims targeted Hindus for chanting “Jai Shri Ram” and even questioned, “How dare you raise this slogan?” (as heard in the video)," BJP national spokesperson Amit Mavliya added.

"The detained person is an outsider and has mental health issues," the Baruipur police claimed.

BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya shared the video of the attack on Hindu shops and properties. He blamed supporters of Mamata Banerjee of orchestrating vandalism and arson.

"The idol is being replaced and the person responsible for the mischief has been arrested. Preliminary enquiry suggests that the person has mental health issues," Basirhat Police claimed.

"Shaikhpara Bazar committee wants to inform our shopkeeper friends that starting next Friday, all shops will remain closed throughout the day except hotels and the ones selling medicines, sweets, fish, meat, fruits and vegetables," the announcement read.

While speaking to the media, the girl's father demanded the death penalty for the accused Mostakin.

The family members of the girl were harassed when they went to file a complaint at the Mahishamari police station. The ill-treatment triggered the locals, who then hit the streets in protest.

Despite the heinous nature of the crime, not a single accused was arrested till Monday (23rd September) night.

His remand letter filed by CBI noted, “Sandip Ghosh did not intend to register an FIR in the case, even after being in consultation with an advocate.”
