Allegations have surfaced pointing to the involvement of Bangladeshi radicals, possibly aided by local political figures, in recent violence in Murshidabad, West Bengal. Intelligence reports suggest that these radicals were instrumental in the unrest triggered by protests against the amended Waqf Act, resulting in three fatalities.

The Union home ministry is monitoring the developments closely, deploying central forces to collaborate with the state police for law enforcement. The Border Security Force (BSF) has been tasked with strict border monitoring to prevent any illegal infiltration, as tensions run high in the West Bengal region.

Security agencies, including the BSF, CRPF, state police, and RAF, have increased their presence in affected areas such as Jangipur and Dhuliyan to maintain peace. Reports indicate a gradual return to normalcy, with businesses reopening and displaced citizens beginning to return home.
