A video of monks being attacked by a mob in Purulia has sparked a political row in West Bengal. The BJP accuses the state of a collapse in law and order, while the TMC claims the BJP is trying to give a communal twist to the incident. The Purulia Police stated that the incident resulted from a misunderstanding between the monks and local girls. Twelve people have been arrested, and the police deny any communal overtone. The BJP alleges that those behind the assault are linked to the ruling TMC party.
