Local TMC Leaders Detained for Questioning

Following the incident, three individuals, including two local Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders, were apprehended by the authorities for questioning in connection with the attack on the constable.

An officer from the Sandeshkhali police station confirmed the detentions and stated that the investigation into the matter is ongoing to ascertain the motive behind the assault.

Sandeshkhali has been in the spotlight previously due to incidents involving prominent political figures. In January, Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials were attacked while conducting a search at the residence of local TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh.

Furthermore, in February, villagers, predominantly women, staged protests demanding the arrest of Sheikh and his associates over allegations of sexual assault and land grabbing. Sheikh was eventually apprehended on court orders and handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The recent attack on the constable has raised concerns about the safety and security of law enforcement personnel in the region, prompting authorities to intensify efforts to ensure the protection of those serving on the frontlines.
