Another Rape of a Minor girl in Nadia's Shantipur by a TMC Leader's son jogs one's memory about what had happened in Hanskhali in Nadia District itself, where a Class 9 student was raped in April 2022 during a birthday party at the house of the culprit – a local TMC leader's son.… pic.twitter.com/WIZwiPo83b

Later, a complaint was filed in the Shantipur Police Station. The Police immediately launched an investigation and arrested the accused. 

As the case unfolded, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari targeted the Mamata Banerjee-led govt and its law and order situation regarding the safety of women. 

On social media platform ‘X’, Suvendu Adhikari wrote, “Be it Sandeshkhali, Shantipur, Hanskhali or Kaliyaganj; sexual crimes perpetrated by TMC Leaders and their relatives proves that the culprits are emboldened by the non existent Law and Order Situation in the State and the free hand extended to the TMC Leaders by the Mamata Police. These sexual predators don’t have any fear of the Law or can’t even imagine that they will be taken to task by the Police, that’s why they keep repeating such sexual offence across the State.” He also shared a copy of the FIR and the photo of the accused.
