Customs Officer Assaulted in Kolkata; Political Allegations Arise

A customs officer in Kolkata was attacked in his home by a group led by an auto driver.

The attack happened after a traffic dispute involving the officer's car and the auto driver's vehicle.

The attackers broke into the officer's apartment and assaulted him and his wife.

Local police were slow to respond because they were engaged in Kali Puja immersion duties.

The BJP has accused the ruling TMC of being involved in the attack.

The accused, including the auto driver, were arrested and later released.

The incident is under investigation.
