Sandeshkhali woman alleges fake rape complaint, says made to sign blank paper
Sandeshkhali: A woman from Sandeshkhali has accused individuals associated with the BJP of orchestrating a false rape complaint in her name. This accusation has escalated the already intense political fight between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the BJP as elections loom large.
The woman claimed that she was coerced into signing a blank paper by a person named Piyali, who allegedly then fabricated a rape complaint against local Trinamool leaders. The woman further said that she and her family have faced threats for speaking out against Piyali.
Trinamool MP Sushmita Dev lambasted the BJP for intimidating the brave women of Sandeshkhali, accusing them of deceit and exploiting the dignity of women for political gain.
In response, the BJP dismissed Trinamool's claims as a belated attempt at damage control. Party spokesperson Priyanka Tibrewal questioned Trinamool's silence over the past months and challenged the authenticity of their sudden outcry.
Amidst the turmoil, the Trinamool Congress has lodged a complaint with the Election Commission against several BJP leaders, including Suvendu Adhikari, for allegedly concocting false allegations in the Sandeshkhali matter.
Sandeshkhali, a remote island in North 24 Parganas, gained national attention when residents accused local strongman Sheikh Shahjahan and his associates of various crimes. Shahjahan, expelled by Trinamool, was arrested after being on the run for over a month and is now in CBI custody.
A recent video featuring a local BJP leader, purportedly admitting to the fabrication of rape complaints, has further fueled the controversy. However, the BJP claims the video was doctored, filing a police complaint in this regard.
