West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has demanded a comprehensive report from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee following a distressing public flogging incident in Chopra, Uttar Dinajpur district. The governor, currently in New Delhi, is highly disturbed by the event, describing it as 'barbarous'.

Bose is set to visit Chopra on Tuesday to personally interact with victims and residents, despite alleged attempts by the state administration to hinder his visit. He intends to return to New Delhi thereafter and present a detailed report to the central government.

The incident, captured on video and widely circulated on social media, has prompted significant public outrage and led to a police case. Governor Bose has also raised concerns regarding the role of the state's police minister and police administration in managing such events.
