**Headline:** BJP Alleges Assault on Hindu Women by Muslim Girls in Kolkata Incident
In a recent incident that has sparked controversy, the Bengal unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused a group of Muslim girls of physically attacking Hindu women at Dhakuria Lake in Kolkata. The BJP’s allegations were shared through a post on their official social media account, claiming that the assault occurred after the Hindu women declined to chant “Allah Hu Akbar.”
According to the BJP’s post, the confrontation began when the Hindu women asserted their right to be in a public space, stating, “This is a public place, not a religious one. You can’t force us, we are Hindus.” The party claims that the women were subsequently assaulted for standing their ground against the demands of the group.
The BJP’s post raised questions about the state of religious harmony in West Bengal, with the party asking, “Is this what religious harmony looks like in West Bengal? Are we in Bangladesh or Pakistan already?”
In response to the allegations, IPS Meeraj Khalid, Joint Commissioner (Headquarters) of Kolkata Police, informed media outlets that the police became aware of the incident through social media. However, he noted that no official complaints had been filed at any police station regarding the matter. “We have received information about this alleged incident from social media. No one has lodged any complaints at any police station so far. A detailed enquiry is being conducted to reveal the truth,” Khalid stated.
A source within the Kolkata Police indicated that efforts are underway to identify the complainant using available resources. Since no written complaint has been submitted, the investigation process is taking longer than expected. Once the complainant is identified, she will be called in for questioning, and if the incident is substantiated, a formal case will be registered.
This incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding communal relations in the region and raises important questions about the dynamics of public spaces and religious expression.
