The Sandeshkhali incident in West Bengal has escalated into a significant political and legal controversy, drawing attention from various quarters. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP and probe agencies of inflating the issue, while the BJP retaliated, claiming orchestration by the Trinamool Congress. The West Bengal government has approached the Supreme Court to challenge Parliament Ethics Committee notices related to the incident, with the Supreme Court issuing notices to the respondents and halting the Parliament panel's proceedings against top Bengal officers. Allegations of socio-economic and sexual exploitation against local Trinamool leaders have emerged, with victims reportedly being Hindus from Bangladesh with illegal citizenship status. The National Commission for Women (NCW) has demanded the immediate arrest of TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan and his aides for atrocities against women in the area. The BJP announced plans for a 72-hour protest demanding Shahjahan's arrest on February 22, and the NCW team, led by Rekha Sharma, has visited Sandeshkhali, registering two rape cases. The Supreme Court refused to entertain a plea seeking a transfer of investigation and subsequent trial outside West Bengal and a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation or a Special Investigation Team (SIT) in connection with the alleged sexual assault of women living in the village, citing a similar matter pending before the Calcutta High Court. Amidst this, Union Minister Anurag Thakur criticized the West Bengal government over the issue, stating that the events in Sandeshkhali have put 'humanity to shame'.
