Didi claims linguistic assault in Delhi, cops call video ‘fabricated'
On Sunday, Banerjee posted a video claiming that the woman and her son—migrant residents from Malda district's Chanchal area—were victims of 'linguistic terror' by Delhi Police personnel. 'Even a child is not spared... Where are they taking our country now?' she wrote on social media.
DCP (East) Abhishek Dhania refuted the charges and dubbed the video 'misleading'. He identified the woman as Sanjanu Parveen and stated that during questioning, she alleged that four men in plainclothes, posing as police officers, took her and her child to a secluded spot on the night of July 26 and extracted Rs 25,000 from her.

He cautioned farmers against excessive use of urea, stating that only two bags per acre should be used to protect soil fertility and public health. He also noted the improved irrigation infrastructure in the region, crediting the vision of late NT Rama Rao and the leadership of Naidu for transforming the region into a flourishing agricultural hub. District Collector G Raja Kumari added that under both schemes, farmers owning over 10 cents of land receive annual aid of Rs 20,000 in three installments. So far, Rs.140.57 crore has been disbursed to 2,06,052 farmers in the district. She urged farmers to register their crops on the e-Crop platform, complete eKYC, and link Aadhaar to their bank accounts to ensure smooth delivery of benefits. Farmers who have not received payments can approach village secretariats for redressal. She also encouraged eligible households to utilize the PM Surya Ghar Yojana for rooftop solar panels, which come with government subsidies and bank loan support.
