Hansraj Singh, Purulia: Three monks are said to have been beaten up in Purulia Kashipur while traveling from Uttar Pradesh to Gangasagar. vandalized the vehicle. In this instance, the Kashipur police station's officers filed a suo motu case. Charges of public beating led to the arrest of twelve people.

On suspicion of being kidnappers, some villagers allegedly dragged the Uttar Pradeshi monk out of their car and began beating him after he sought for directions in Gaurangadi hamlet in Kashipur. Someone vandalized the automobile. The impacted monks were later saved by several villagers. Jyotirmoy Singh Mahato, a BJP MP, raced to the scene. 

The BJP's grievance: With this, political pressure has begun. The Sannyasi Nigraha issue in Palghar, Maharashtra, has also been raised by the BJP. Chief of the BJP's IT unit, Amit Malviya, took aim at Trinamool in AK's handle. He stated, 'A deadly occurrence has taken place in Purulia, West Bengal. As it was Makar Sankranti, saints were traveling to Gangesagar. They were victims of gang beatings, just like Palghar. Miscreants supported by Trinamool stripped and thrashed them. Saints are being beaten up and terrorists like Sheikh Shahjahan are receiving state protection under Mamata Banerjee's leadership. In the same tone, Sukant Majumdar tweeted as well. 

Nonetheless, after arriving in the state with a complaint alleging widespread abuse of monks in Purulia, Union Minister Anurag Thakur also spoke out about the situation there.  

Leaders of the BJP are drawing parallels between this tragedy and the Palghar incident. 2020 saw the public outcry over the lynching killing of a monk in Palghar. Three individuals, three of whom were nuns, were charged with beating to death in Palghar, Maharashtra, due to allegations of child stealing. About a hundred peasants in the Garchinchale village of Palghar were charged with attacking armed monks. Two fatalities occurred.

Trinamool counters: 'Amit Malviya has hired thugs to run IT cell. Why did Subhendu Adhikari Ra and Sukant Majumdar stop talking?
The BJP backed the rapists of Bilkis Bano as well. On the accusation that monks in Purulia were beaten in large numbers, Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya retaliated against Amit Mallyav.
