In West Bengal's Sandeshkhali, an Enforcement Directorate team conducting raids related to a ration scam was attacked by a mob of over 200 locals. The incident occurred during an approach to Trinamool leader Shah Jahan Sheikh's residence, resulting in vehicle vandalism. Shah Jahan Sheikh was subsequently arrested in connection with the scam. BJP's Sukanta Majumdar criticized the attack, linking it to law and order issues in the state. Leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, described the situation as "horrific," urging Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose to address the escalating anarchy. Ongoing raids focus on a diversion of 30% of PDS ration in the alleged scam.
