BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari accused the West Bengal government of misusing the CID to target BJP members in connection with Mamata Banerjee's alleged leg injury claim.
Senior BJP figure Suvendu Adhikari, a former member of the Trinamool Congress, publicly alleged that the West Bengal government has weaponised the state's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to implicate BJP leaders. He said the move was linked to the controversy surrounding Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's claim of a leg injury.
Adhikari did not provide specific details of the alleged framing but asserted that the CID was being used as a political tool to tarnish opposition figures. The accusation comes amid heightened political tensions in the state ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
The Trinamool Congress has not responded to the allegation at the time of reporting. No official statement from the CID or the West Bengal government has been released to confirm or deny the claim.
