Trinamool Congress strongman Tajemul Islam has been charged with attempt to murder, assault with intent to outrage the modesty of a woman, and causing grievous hurt, following his arrest in the Chopra flogging case.

The arrest came after a video surfaced showing Islam severely caning a couple, which triggered widespread controversy and prompted Governor CV Ananda Bose to demand a report from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Scheduled to visit Chopra later today, Governor Bose aims to meet the victims and local residents, subsequently submitting his findings to the central government.
