At the backdrop of the Sandeshkhali row in which the saffron clan and ruling party of West Bengal have locked horns, State Police arrested Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sabyasachi Ghosh for running a prostitution racket in Howrah district.
The development took place on Friday. As the news of the arrest did the rounds, Trinamool Congress took to platform X to condemn the act and revealed that apart from Sabyasachi more 11 accused have been arrested; and six victims rescued.
TMC’s post on X reads: “@BJP4Bengal leader Sabyasachi Ghosh caught running a PROSTITUTION RACKET of MINOR GIRLS in his hotel in Howrah’s Sankrail. The Police arrested 11 accused & rescued 6 victims from the spot. THIS IS BJP. They don’t protect BETIS, they protect PIMPS!”
Bengal Police, reportedly, busted the prostitution racket that was being operated from Sabyasachi's hotel situated in Howrah.
The reports of Sabyasachi getting arrested surfaced after a delegation of BJP women activists, including MP Locket Chatterjee and MLA Agnimitra Paul were stopped from entering into strife-torn Sandeshkhali. They were moving to the spot to create a pressure on the state government to arrest the prime accused in the Sandeshkhali case Shahjahan Sheikh. He has been absconding, after a mob attacked Enforcement Directorate officials who had gone to search his premises in connection with a ration scam on January 5.
“We were denied entry to Sandeshkhali by the police citing prohibitory orders. The state government is trying to hide the truth,” claimed Paul.
Moreover, a team of National Human Rights Commission has also reached Sandeshkhali today to ascertain certain facts based on violation of human rights there.
On Friday, ED raided certain places in connection with the ration scam and issued fresh summons to Shahjahan for interrogation on February 29.
