On April 04, the Calcutta High Court sharply criticized the Trinamool Congress-led government in West Bengal over its handling of the violence in Sandeshkhali. During a series of hearings, including a PIL hearing, the court described the situation as 'extremely shameful' and held the state government '100% responsible' for the unrest. The court's rebuke came amid discussions on several pleas related to the violence, including allegations of sexual harassment, which challenged Bengal's credibility as the 'safest state for women'. The High Court emphasized the gravity of the situation by stating that even if only 1% of the allegations are true, it reflects poorly on the state's governance. There were also calls for the establishment of a committee to investigate the incidents on the ground, highlighting the state government's alleged inability to address what is happening and its tendency to deflect blame towards independent agencies like the CBI.
