Masked Men, TVs, and a Battle for Bengal's Streets In the early hours of Thursday morning, masked men stormed the Trinamool Congress' Camac Street office in Kolkata, leaving behind a trail of destruction and controversy that has now spilled onto the national stage.
The incident is the latest symptom of a deeper malaise afflicting West Bengal's politics, where allegations of vandalism, police inaction, and vendetta politics are increasingly entwining.
Footage from the Camac Street office shows masked men carrying TVs and other electronics out of the premises as if stealing from their own family's home.
