Overview
- The woman alleges she was assaulted, had part of her head shaved, was tied to a lamp post and beaten by a group who returned to her property on Friday.
- A first information report was lodged on Saturday after the complaint and police arrested one man identified as Tarifudin Sardar using mobile‑tower tracking.
- The victim and her husband say the attack followed a long-running land dispute in which local actors demanded 'cut money' to allow development of a plot they bought in June 2025.
- The couple, who say they are BJP supporters, claim the assailants were associates of former TMC MLA Firdousi Begum; Begum denies involvement and has asked police to investigate.
- Police continue raids to find other suspects and investigators will need to establish motive, verify the attackers' links to political figures and consider why the couple's earlier court protection did not stop the alleged return of harassment.
