West Bengal Horror Continues: Two tribal women stripped naked, tortured, paraded in Malda as police watch on

-

As outrage over the video of two women in Manipur being paraded naked still continues, a gruesome incident of two other women beaten and their clothes being torn apart has surfaced in West Bengal.

The two women, most likely from the tribal community, were attacked in Malda’s Pakua Hat area of ​​Bamangola Police Station.

In the video, it can be seen that the police were helpless to the cries of the women in question.

The two women were attacked by a mob following which they were left heavily injured and traumatised. The incident took place on 19 July.

According to North East India Blog, no one has filed an official complaint with the police yet. However, investigations are underway to identify the perpetrators behind the attack.

The incident comes just a day after a female BJP gram sabha candidate of in West Bengal claimed that she was ‘stripped naked’ and ‘paraded’ by Trinamool Congress workers on 8 July when Panchayat polls were held.

As per the complaint, the woman alleged that she was beaten up by about 40 Trinamool miscreants in Panchla area of ​​Howrah district when the Panchayat polls in West Bengal were underway.

“I was hit on the chest and head with a stick and I was thrown out of the polling station,” the BJP worker said.

Names of several people including Trinamool candidate Himanta Roy, Noor Alam, Alfi SK, Ranbir Panja Sanju, Sukmal Panja were also mentioned in the FIR.

BJP slams Mamata’s TMC

Sharing the horrific video on Twitter, Bengal BJP’s co-incharge Amit Malviya said that the tragedy “should have Mamata Banerjee’s heart.”

“The horrific incident took place on the morning of 19th July. The women belonged to socially marginalised community and had a frenzied mob baying for her blood…” he said.

Malviya added, “It had all the making of a tragedy that should have ‘broken’ Mamata Banerjee’s heart and she, instead of merely outraging, could have acted, since she is also the Home Minister of Bengal.”

Continuing his rhetoric from yesterday’s video incident that also took place in the state, Malviya said that the “horror continues in West Bengal.”

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
