The Sandeshkhali sting operation video has sparked controversy in West Bengal. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of “dishonouring the mothers of Bengal” through an alleged conspiracy. TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee has urged the people of the state to reject those trying to tarnish its reputation. Meanwhile, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has not yet commented on whether an investigation will be conducted into the “sting operation.” The TMC has shared the video on its official social media channels, but its authenticity has not been verified. The video allegedly shows BJP leader Gangadhar Kayal claiming that BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari paid women to level gang rape allegations against Trinamool leaders.
