Parliamentary Panel to Discuss CAPF Role in West Bengal Following TMC Proposal
The Parliamentary Committee on Home Affairs is set to discuss the role and deployment of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) in West Bengal following a proposal by Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien. O'Brien submitted a letter alleging police brutality and highlighting the large CAPF presence during and after the 2026 assembly elections. Committee chairman Radha Mohan Das Agarwal suggested broadening the discussion to CAPF roles nationwide. Most MPs agreed to take up the issue soon amid ongoing concerns about post-election violence.
