Bengal police nab man assaulting woman publicly at Chopra in viral video

Police in West Bengal's Chopra block arrested Tejemul, a.k.a JCB, a TMC worker, late on Sunday night on suspicion of assaulting a couple over a suspected extramarital affair. He was taken to the Islampur police station after being taken into custody in Chopra, according to police officials. In a video that went viral, JCB is seen brutally beating up a couple in the open air at a Kangaroo Court in the Chopra block of West Bengal's North Dinajpur district.

Locals said that JCB had called the victim woman because they suspected her of having an extramarital affair. At the same Kangaroo Court, JCB also viciously beat up the youth, who the victim woman has been accused of having a relationship with.

While the opposition BJP, Congress, and CPI(M) condemned the Mamata Banerjee administration for the incident, the ruling TMC stated that the matter would be investigated.
