BJP reopens old cases, alleging TMC cover-ups; police make arrests
Reopening old cases suggests potential abuse of power and selective justice.
The Adhikari government in West Bengal has reopened several old cases, including those from the 2021 Assembly election violence, the 2024 R G Kar Medical College rape and murder, and a 2025 schoolgirl's death. The BJP claims this dismantles years of cover-ups under the Trinamool Congress regime. Police have launched new inquiries, registered fresh FIRs, and made arrests in these cases. TMC spokesperson Pradipta Mukherjee accused the BJP of targeting opposition leaders.
