In West Bengal's Sandeshkhali, a series of political and legal confrontations have unfolded, involving key political figures and law enforcement. BJP MP Locket Chatterjee criticized the detentions in the region, suggesting they were attempts to suppress the truth about the Sandeshkhali incidents. Similarly, West Bengal Minister Shashi Panja highlighted the arrest of BJP leader Sabyasachi Ghosh in Howrah for allegedly running a prostitution racket, which the BJP has denied any association with. Amidst these developments, an NHRC team and a TMC delegation visited Sandeshkhali, engaging with locals and addressing grievances, including issues where land was taken away. However, a fact-finding committee sent to investigate was reportedly stopped and arrested by the West Bengal Police at Bhojerhat, South 24 Parganas, raising concerns over transparency and the handling of the situation by authorities.
