Tension escalated in Kolkata after a bulldozer demolished a structure at the iconic New Market following recent poll results. The Trinamool Congress claimed the razed structure was a market union office linked to the party, while allegations also surfaced about nearby meat shops being targeted. A video shared by Mahua Moitra showed a crowd waving Bharatiya Janata Party flags during the demolition. Authorities have not confirmed the exact nature of the structure. The incident adds to rising post-election tensions and competing political claims across Bengal.
