The Trinamool Congress has submitted a formal complaint to the Chief Electoral Officer in West Bengal, targeting BJP leader Dilip Ghosh.
The complaint alleges Ghosh threatened police officers, specifically the inspector-in-charge at Kharagpur, during a public rally, with circulating video evidence to support their claims.
