West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has blamed the BJP and a section of the media for maligning the image of the state over the recent viral video of Kamarhatti's Ariadaha in North 24 Parganas district. While speaking to reporters at the Kolkata airport, Mamata Banerjee said a two-year-old incident, a video clip of which had gone viral, happened when Arjun Singh was BJP MP of Barrackpore Lok Sabha constituency.
She accused a section of the TV channels of showing the old incident repeatedly at the behest of the saffron party ahead of Wednesday’s by-elections. “A section of the media and BJP are trying to malign the state a part of their damage control for the defeat that BJP has suffered in Bengal,” she said.
After the old video clip showing a girl being assaulted by a group of people in Ariadaha, the police initiated a suo motu case and arrested three persons, including local TMC leader and prime suspect Jayant Singh. Singh, who was arrested in 2023 in another case and was out on bail with a bond promising no further illegal activities, is now facing additional charges for violating this condition.
