A few buses in which women from Sandeshkhali were travelling to PM Narendra Modi’s rally in West Bengal’s Barasat on Wednesday were stopped at multiple places by the police citing “security protocol”, BJP leaders alleged.
PM Modi addressed the rally at Kachari Maidan in Barasat, the district headquarters town of North 24 Parganas where Sandeshkhali is located.
The state BJP made arrangements for buses to take the women, who were allegedly tortured by suspended TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh and his aides, from Sandeshkhali to the rally venue, around 80 km away.
