A couple was brutally beaten up in broad daylight on Sunday. The accused Tajamul alias ‘JCB’ has been arrested by Bengal Police. But TMC MLA Hamidul Rehman justified the act citing “Muslim nation rules” and said the woman’s activities were “anti-social”.
The opposition in West Bengal has launched a scathing attack on the Mamata Banerjee-led government.
According to opposition parties CPM and BJP, the video is from Chopra in North Dinajpur district of North Bengal. The incident is reported to have taken place over the weekend.
The man who can be seen beating the couple has been identified as Tajamul Alias and is reportedly a local TMC leader from Chopra in North Dinajpur district. According to PTI, the incident took place following a verdict by a kangaroo court.
The incident Couple Attacked on Road in Bengal ‘Muslim Nation’
In the footage, a man can be seen attacking a woman with a stick multiple times while a small group of people watch silently. Even as she screams in pain, the attack continues. He then confronts a man and starts hitting him. The majority of the onlookers are seen helping the attacker instead of trying to stop him. Eventually, the man grabs the woman’s hair and kicks her.
On Sunday, West Bengal police took Tajmul into custody, but Chopra MLA Hamidul Rehman described the woman’s actions as “anti-social”. However, he denied Tajmul’s connection to TMC.
TMC MLA Rehman told reporters, “We condemn the incident. But the woman also did wrong. She left her husband, son and daughter and became an evil beast. According to Muslim nation there are certain rules and justice. However, we agree that what happened was a bit extreme. Now, legal action will be taken in this matter,”
The TMC party said that the matter will be investigated.
Union minister and Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar exposed TMC MLA Hamidul Rehman’s ‘Muslim nation’ statement on ‘X’.
He posted, asking, “Is TMC declaring West Bengal a state where Sharia law will be implemented?”
BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya posted on Twitter, “This is the ugly face of Mamata Banerjee’s rule in West Bengal. The man in the video brutally beating a woman… is famous for delivering speedy justice through his ‘Insaaf’ Sabha and is a close aide of Chopra MLA Hamidur Rahman.”

He announced that the group would investigate the incident.
Condemning the event, TMC spokesperson Santanu Sen also said similar kangaroo courts were frequently used during the Left Front government.
