Two Block Development Officer (BDO) offices in West Bengal were attacked by angry locals over the ongoing Special Investigating Agency (SIR) probe. On Wednesday, a mob led by a Trinamool Congress MLA vandalised the BDO office at Farakka. The next day, around 300 people forcefully entered and damaged the BDO office at Chakulia in Uttar Dinajpur district. The police complaint stated, "An agitated mob of around 300 people forcefully entered the office premises, rushed to the office premises at 9.30 a.m. and destroyed various infrastructures of office premises as well as various sections." Property worth about ₹20 lakh was damaged. The complaint added, "They destroyed all the infrastructure, office accessories, electronic gadgets, and various office documents from different sections, such as the relief section, social welfare section, SHG, NRLM section, and more. After destroying the physical items, they set fire to the broken materials inside and outside the office room." The Officer-in-Charge of Chakulia police station was injured during the violence. Police had to use force to disperse the mob. West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Kumar Agarwal called the violence a "sporadic incident" and said the state government has been alerted. He shared FIR links related to the Chakulia attack and said, "Chief Secretary GoWB and DGP WBP have assured fool-proof security arrangements at SIR hearing venues." Five people were arrested in connection with the Farakka attack. Although Farakka MLA Monirul Islam was present during the vandalism, the FIR did not name him. The MLA was heard shouting, "I don’t accept SIR, I don’t accept." Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee condemned the violence but said people are being harassed due to SIR and warned of protests if the Election Commission of India (ECI) does not publish a list of logical discrepancies. "If the ECI does not publish a logical discrepancy list, there will be democratic protests in Kolkata and Delhi," he said. Banerjee added, "After the deletion of approximately 58 lakh names in the first phase of the SIR, the ECI has issued notices to about 1.36 crore people in the state due to ‘logical discrepancies.’" West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya blamed the state Chief Minister for encouraging such violence and said it shows the state’s lawlessness. The ongoing SIR probe continues to spark unrest and political tension in West Bengal.
