Outrage has erupted in West Bengal's Uttar Dinajpur district after a couple was publicly flogged, drawing attention from the highest levels of state governance. Governor CV Ananda Bose has formally requested a detailed report from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the incident.

The controversy gained significant traction after a video showing Tajmul, an alleged TMC leader, beating the couple with a bamboo stick went viral on social media. Tajmul, also known as 'JCB', was promptly arrested and has been remanded to five days of police custody.

The BJP has criticized the ruling TMC, accusing them of imposing a 'Taliban-like rule' in the state. Police quickly registered a case following the video release, sparking a broader discussion on governance and law enforcement in the region.
