‘Fake news,’ say police after BJP’s ‘noa’ charges
Times of India | 17 September 2025After Sikdar reported the matter, the issue was resolved and she appeared for her exams with the iron bangle, cops said.
The police in a statement said that SSC had hired a private agency to conduct the exams and an employee of the agency stopped Sikdar at the gates because she wore a metallic bangle. Police said the entire episode was a malicious attempt to create controversy.
Bengal BJP questioned on X if this was Bengal or Bangladesh when a "married Hindu woman was asked to remove her bangle". Trinamool MP and SSC counsel Kalyan Banerjee said, "The candidate did allege a lot of things for publicity."
