Delhi, July 29: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took to social media platform X on July 27, to share a video alleging police brutality. In the post, Banerjee claimed that a Bengali-speaking woman and her child, migrants from Chanchal in Malda, were brutally assaulted by Delhi Police. She called the incident "atrocious" and accused the BJP-led regime of unleashing "linguistic terror" on Bengali-speaking citizens, urging people to question where the nation was heading under such governance. The Delhi Police have strongly denied these allegations and called the "viral video fabricated".

The video showed a woman, later identified as Sanjanu Parveen, holding her child and alleging that they were beaten by Delhi police officers. According to Banerjee, the incident highlighted a dangerous trend of targeting linguistic minorities, especially Bengalis, in the national capital. Her post stirred strong political reactions and gained significant traction online, sparking outrage and concern over alleged police misconduct. Did PM Modi Government Launched Pan-India Helpline Number 104 ‘Blood on Call’ Service To Meet Blood Requirement?
