In a disturbing turn of events, a video has surfaced revealing the brutal reality of vigilante justice in Chopra, West Bengal. The footage shows a woman being mercilessly attacked by a man known locally as JCB, under the alleged supervision of local authorities. This incident has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about the rule of law in the region.Vigilante Justice Under TMC RuleThe video, which has been widely circulated on social media, depicts a man nicknamed JCB—real name Tajemul—carrying out a summary trial and punishment. This form of bulldozer justice has become symbolic of the harsh and extrajudicial methods employed by some individuals affiliated with the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC). Critics argue that such actions reflect poorly on the administrations commitment to justice and human rights.Not even #KangarooCourt !

This incident underscores the precarious position of those who fall victim to such extrajudicial punishments, leaving them vulnerable and without support. The communitys silence and fear of retaliation highlight the oppressive environment fostered under these circumstances.Accusations and Historical ContextJCB, the man seen in the video, is also the main accused in the murder of Comrade Mansur Alam. Despite these serious allegations, he remains at large, and the authorities inaction has been heavily criticized. This lack of accountability perpetuates a cycle of violence and impunity, further eroding trust in the legal system. The involvement of local police in these incidents has been a point of contention. Allegations suggest that the West Bengal Police, instead of curbing such lawlessness, have turned a blind eye or, worse, tacitly supported these acts.This has raised serious concerns about the state of law enforcement and governance in Chopra. The videos release has led to widespread condemnation and calls for justice. Activists and citizens alike are demanding that the perpetrators be brought to justice and that measures be taken to protect vulnerable individuals from such arbitrary violence. The incident has also prompted discussions on the need for judicial reforms and better oversight of law enforcement agencies.
