Kolkata Police harass and book Elderly Hindu Woman under Non-Bailable Charges for Her Son’s Posts exposing atrocities against Hindus and policy failures of State Government

In the increasingly silenced political landscape of West Bengal, one citizen’s voice has drawn the wrath of power.

Bhairav (name changed for privacy) is a resident of West Bengal who has been documenting the rising tide of crimes and atrocities against Hindus in West Bengal and Bangladesh on X (@BhairavVaam). His sharply worded posts have exposed how the state’s ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) has allegedly turned a blind eye to large-scale illegal immigration of Muslims across the porous international border with Bangladesh.

Bhairav’s threads allege that this influx has changed the demography of entire districts, creating pockets of Islamist dominance and sleeper zones across Bengal. He has accused the state government of shielding these settlements and ignoring hate crimes against Hindus for fear of alienating a crucial vote bank.

This ugly pattern was clearly visibly even during the last week (30 October to 5 November 2025):

• A Kali pratima was vandalized in Behala.
• A Shani Dev idol was desecrated in Dhupguri.
• A police inspector in Krishnanagar abused devotees during a Jagatdhaatri immersion.
• Viral videos showed Block-level officers openly using TMC party offices for electoral work.

Mainstream media stayed silent. Only citizen journalists like Bhairav chronicled the incidents and attempted to raise awareness in their limited capabilities.

Then came the blowback.

On 2 November 2025, a TMC IT Cell member had filed a police complaint falsely claiming that @BhairavVaam was an alternate account of another influencer, alleging that both were posting content which “threatened communal harmony.” That evening, Kolkata Police arrived at Bhairav’s home. Kolkata Police had promptly started an investigation and claimed that the posts were made from a mobile SIM registered in his mother Suvra Das’s name. That very day, police personnel had arrived at Bhairav’s home.

The following words of Suvra Das capture the chilling intimidation:

“They said if my son isn’t found, I would have to face the consequences. The smiles on their faces made it clear this was not about law, but punishment. We fear for our safety. As an elderly couple, we are vulnerable and could easily be targeted by TMC cadres. We are deeply concerned about our reputation. It is difficult to make people understand that we are being harassed by the police merely because of a few social media posts by my son.”

Her husband Sukumar Das had suffered a stroke only a week earlier.

A case (Airport Police Station Case No: 198/25) was registered against Suvra Das under sections 196, 353, 299, and 302 of the Bharatiya Nyay Samhita. Legal experts call the use of the non-bailable as “a tool of coercion, not justice.” A notice was served on 3^rd November, directing her to report to the Airport Police Station for “questioning”. She was again harassed by police personnel on 06.11.2025, who warned her of severe consequences.

This episode fits a disturbing pattern. From the abduction and forced conversion attempt of Baban Barman in Coochbehar (July 2025) to the Ram Navami attacks in Kolkata (April 2025), police have been repeatedly accused of shielding Islamist aggressors while silencing those who expose them.

West Bengal—once carved out of East Pakistan as a homeland for persecuted Hindus—now witnesses people marching under Pakistani flags, while citizens who document Hindu persecution or criticize the State Government are being treated as criminals.

The message from the state is unmistakable: speak truth and you or your family will pay the price.

Bengal must now decide whether it will defend its civilizational heritage—or watch it vanish under the weight of fear and appeasement.
