AGARTALA, Mar 24: In a shocking incident, a BJP leader from Boxanagar, identified as Robiul Islam, was allegedly caught red-handed attempting to assault a woman under the guise of a party outreach program. Islam, a resident of Kalsimura in the Boxanagar constituency, is said to be a close associate of BJP MLA Tafajjal Hossain.
According to sources, the incident occurred yesterday afternoon when Islam visited the woman’s house, claiming to be conducting a public relations campaign for the party. However, once inside, he allegedly attempted to force himself on her. As she resisted and raised an alarm, her cries drew the attention of nearby villagers, who quickly gathered at the scene. Enraged by the alleged act, the mob confronted Islam, severely beat him, and later handed him over to the police.
