BSF refuted the TMC leader's allegation that its personnel molested women during frisking and added that no misdemeanour is taken lightly by the force and that it has a zero-tolerance policy on such matters. 

The Border Security Force (BSF) has refuted the charge that its personnel molested women during frisking. A day after TMC leader and West Bengal MLA Udayan Guha levelled the allegation, YB Khurania, the additional director general (ADG) of the BSF's Eastern Command said "no misdemeanour was taken lightly".

The BSF is a disciplined force with a zero tolerance policy on such issues, Khurania said.
