BJP Delegation Protests in Bengal Village After Violence Claims
A group of BJP leaders went to a village in West Bengal after some homes were damaged and a pregnant woman was allegedly hurt.
However, they were met with protests from supporters of a rival political party, the Trinamool Congress.
The BJP blames the Trinamool for the attack.
The Trinamool says the protest happened because they believe the BJP team insulted them.
Both sides disagree on what happened.
The pregnant woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl, and the family plans to take the matter to court.

The BJP delegation faced protests from Trinamool Congress supporters.
The BJP claimed an eight-month pregnant woman, Purabi Barman, was physically attacked.
Trinamool leaders denied the charges, citing Bengali-speaking people being harassed and accusing the BJP of making derogatory remarks.
Purabi Barman gave birth to a baby girl and both are stable; FIR has been filed.
