In response to the Sandeshkhali incident, BJP National Mahila Morcha President Vanathi Srinivasan, along with MLA Agnimitra Paul, led a candle march from College Square to Thanthania Kalibari in Kolkata. This event underscores the political tension surrounding the case, which involves allegations against TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh, accused of sexual assault and land grabbing. The ED conducted raids on the residences of associates of the absconding TMC leader. The Calcutta High Court has clarified that there is no stay on Sheikh's arrest, rebuking the West Bengal government for not taking action. Additionally, TMC leader Ajit Maity, associated with Sheikh, was arrested following protests and accusations of land grabs and extortion. An FIR was also registered against Sheikh Shahjahan's brother. The BJP has escalated the issue by moving to the Calcutta High Court after being denied permission by West Bengal Police for a protest in Kolkata.
