Central Forces officer vows to protect voters in Bengal

Indian Central Armed Police Forces are actively engaging with voters in West Bengal to ensure security ahead of state elections. In a video from the campaign trail, a Central Forces officer is seen asking a group of women if they will vote, to which they respond that Trinamool Congress (TMC) 'goons' have beaten them. The officer, addressing them as 'mothers', vows that if anyone touches them, 'I will bury them right there in the ground.' This public assurance campaign follows a surge in pre-election political violence in the state, including a recent shooting of a TMC worker.
