A viral video of a brutal assault on a couple in West Bengal has sparked significant outrage. The incident, documented on social media, shows a man striking the couple with a bamboo stick, allegedly on orders from a 'salishi sabha' or kangaroo court.

The accused, purportedly a local TMC leader from Chopra in Uttar Dinajpur district, enforced this punishment following accusations against the couple of an illicit relationship. The authenticity of the video remains unverified by PTI.

Police Superintendent Joby Thomas K confirmed that a case has been registered, and raids are underway to apprehend the perpetrator. Political figures from BJP and CPI(M) strongly condemned the act, calling it a testament to the deterioration of law and order under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's administration.
