‘No Goon Will Be Spared’: CM
The Chief Minister alleged that political violence during the previous regime had been carried out using police support and warned that those involved would face legal action.

Suvendu further stated that he had instructed the police to begin recording complaints related to alleged atrocities over the past five years and take strict action.
“I have told the police to sit with registers from tomorrow onwards. Any complaint regarding atrocities from the last five years or earlier must be accepted. FIRs must be filed, arrests must be made, and no goon will be spared,” he added.
He also warned action against those accused of crimes against women and children, while referring to slogans linked to neighbouring Bangladesh.
