West Bengal: In a distrubing video that surfaced from West Bengal, two women were stripped half-naked and assaulted in broad daylight by a mob; giving the horrors of the video from Manipur where two Kuki women were paraded naked which went viral few days ago. The incident reportedly took place in the Pakuahat area of Malda district. However, the exact time of the incident is unknown.
Reportedly, both women were caught by the local people on the charges of theft, after which they were beaten up. It can be clearly seen in the video that some women launched a deadly attack on the victims. They tore their sarees and stripped them almost naked while simultaneously hitting them with footwear.
Bengal BJP Slams Govt Over Viral Video
West Bengal BJP Chief Dr Sukanta Majumdar took the disturbing video to his official Twitter handle and criticised the state government and also took a dig at the Opposition alliance. He captioned the post as, "Another horrific incident with the Tribal women in WB. Two Tribal women were stripped naked & beaten mercilessly in Malda. Like other heinous incidents, Didi is silent & not taking any action in her own rule. Why I.N.D.I.A. isn’t condemning this?"
Local sources have identified the two abused women as residents of Manikchak. Surprisingly, despite the brutality they endured, no formal complaint was filed earlier with the police regarding the incident.

Stating that a case has been registered in the matter, Panja said, "There is absolutely no need to politicise the Malda incident. It was a case of theft, where the two ladies tried to steal something from the market. A group of women tried to take law & order into their hands and started beating them. However, the police reached the spot. A case has been registered & police are investigating the matter."
