In a post on social media platform X, the West Bengal Police said, "Wilful misinformation is being spread by a section of the media to mislead the people about the events in Sandeshkhali."
The West Bengal Police have denied allegations of sexual violence against women in Sandeshkhali, calling it "wilful misinformation".
On Monday, Union Minister Smriti Irani had alleged women in south Bengal's Sandeshkhali were being sexually assaulted, and declared "young Hindu married women" were being targeted by Trinamool Congress goons. After BJP MLAs were suspended by the Speaker, West Bengal's Leader of Opposition had told NDTV, "We BJP MLAs raised our voice against the atrocities, physical torture, humiliation and rape against women, especially Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe women in Sandeshkhali area. For that reason they suspended six BJP MLAs. They are supporting rapists."
