A shocking incident in West Bengal has caused a political stir after TMC leader Brahmanand Chakraborty was discovered allegedly hiding under a pile of sarees inside a godown of the government in Howrah district.
It emerged that the incident took place at Tantuja godown in Amta, when a group of BJP workers was searching for Brahmanand Chakraborty who is facing an extortion case. The incident quickly went viral on social media after the shocking incident and led to yet another political row between TMC and BJP.
According to the local reports, Chakraborty allegedly tried to hide his presence by hiding himself under a heap of sarees inside the godown. Videos and pictures pertaining to the incident were shared soon after in online platforms where leaders from both sides questioned each other about the incident.

Political Row Intensifies
The sinister incident described has added to the political tension prevailing in West Bengal. Leaders of BJP blamed the Trinamool Congress and said the incident sparked new evidence of growing fear among the leaders facing charges of crimes.
This is the third day since another viral video shared by BJP leader Amit Malviya showed a TMC leader hiding under a bed to avoid a mob. The BJP has been slamming his rivals for corruption and extortion, and the TMC has repeatedly said these accusations are politically motivated attacks.
TMC Yet to Respond in Detail
No official response from Brahmanand Chakraborty on the saree godown incident was reported by the media. Information about the raid conditions and charges against him were not released.
The incident, however, is still a big talking point in West Bengal politics with opposition parties demanding accountability and burning questions. More details are expected to pop up as the story continues to grip media and public attention.
