Mamata Banerjee's proposed visit to Baruipur has triggered a major political showdown in West Bengal. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has alleged that Mamata Banerjee was placed under "house arrest" after heavy security deployment and barricades were put up outside her residence to stop her from meeting the family of the 12-year-old girl allegedly raped and murdered. The BJP has strongly rejected the allegation, saying the deployment was part of routine Z-plus security arrangements. BJP leader Agnimitra Paul also accused Mamata Banerjee of trying to politicise the incident.
