CAPF detains TMC cadres after attack on BJP roadshow
Central Armed Police Forces personnel detained several individuals, including a local Trinamool Congress worker identified as Molla Harmad, following a clash that broke out during a BJP rally in Dantan area of Paschim Medinipur district, West Bengal.
The incident reportedly began when supporters of different political parties engaged in an argument during a campaign event linked to the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections. The situation soon escalated into a physical confrontation, with BJP workers alleging they were attacked by opposing party supporters.
Visuals from the spot show security forces intervening, detaining several people, and escorting them to a nearby police station. Following the clash, some motorcycles were reportedly set on fire, and several party workers sustained injuries.
The BJP has claimed that one of the detained individuals was a key instigator behind the violence and has demanded strict action against those responsible. However, authorities have not independently confirmed these allegations and have stated that an investigation is currently underway to establish the exact sequence of events.
