Video shared by W.B. CM fake and politically motivated: Delhi Police
A day after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee shared a video on X, purportedly showing injuries suffered by a toddler, and condemned the Delhi police for 'brutally beating up a kid and his mother, members of a migrant family from Malda's Chanchal', the police on Monday termed the video fake. In a video statement on X, DCP (East) Abhishek Dhania said the woman, identified as Sanjanu Parveen, alleged that she and her son were beaten up by the police on the directions of a 'politically connected relative from Malda' in West Bengal. The officer said that based on the West Bengal Chief Minister's X post, multiple teams were constituted to identify the woman, who was subsequently traced and interrogated. 'In her confession during the interrogation, the woman mentioned that her relative, who lives in Malda, is a political worker, and at his request, she made this baseless video and shared it with him. Later, her relative circulated the same video to the local media,' the DCP said. The officer added that the video was made to 'tarnish the image of Delhi Police'. Senior BJP leader and Leader of the Opposition in W.B. Suvendu Adhikari said the woman had claimed that four individuals claiming to be from the police had visited her home on July 25, accused her family of being undocumented Bangladeshi citizens, and forcibly taken her, along with her two children, to a park in Mangolpuri the next day. 'Clear inconsistencies' 'However, the CCTV footage [near her house] clearly reveals inconsistencies. It clearly shows her leaving home with her children alone, which contradicts the claim of the use of force,' said Mr. Adhikari. He added, 'Many such fake stories will be spread. So this time, don't just listen and believe in whatever you see.'

New Delhi: Reacting to a social media post by West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee , alleging that a Bengali-speaking woman and her child were assaulted by police in the capital, Delhi Police on Monday dismissed the claims as "baseless and motivated".

Police said they launched an inquiry after receiving the complaint and identified the woman as Sajnur Parveen, a resident of West Vinod Nagar. The family initially alleged that on July 25, four men in plain clothes visited their home for Aadhaar verification and accused them of being Bangladeshi nationals. The following day, Parveen claimed she and her two children were forcibly taken to a park near Manglam Hospital Red Light, detained by the same individuals, and released only after a ransom of Rs 25,000 was paid.
