Murshidabad violence: TMC alleges fake photos in circulation; BJP claims religious persecution

Kolkata, 13/4: As photographs and videos of people purportedly from violence-hit Murshidabad district in West Bengal surfaced on social media, the ruling TMC on Sunday cried conspiracy claiming those were fake, while the opposition BJP alleged that people are fleeing as “religious persecution is real” in the state.

At least three people were killed, several others injured and a number of shops torched after protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act turned violent in Suti and Samserganj blocks of Murshidabad district.
