West Bengal Authorities Begin Demolition of Former TMC MLA Jahangir Khan's House in Falta
West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district administration began demolishing a house in Falta belonging to former TMC MLA Jahangir Khan, citing alleged illegal construction. The process involved removing belongings before demolition with hand tools due to the congested location. Authorities issued multiple notices and obtained court permission after Khan reportedly failed to comply. BJP leaders, including Bidhan Padui and Debanshu Panda, supported the action, framing it as legal enforcement, while the TMC has not publicly responded. Police maintained order during the operation.
