"When TMC is in power and the administration is under them, how is it possible that BJP people could attack them? This is not possible. This is public outrage," said BJP leader Agnimitra Paul.

Following the alleged assault at the school, located under the Asansol South in Bhanga Panchil police station area, TMC workers staged a road blockade in protest. Police later intervened and persuaded the protesters to clear the road, assuring them that those responsible for the violence would be arrested.
