A team from the national child rights body on Sunday visited the family of 17-year-old girl, whose alleged murder triggered violence in Kaliaganj, West Bengal, on Friday. The West Bengal Commission for Protection of Child Rights accused the NCPCR of “politicising the matter”. The visit also sparked a war of words between the BJP and the TMC.

“The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) chairperson Priyank Kanoongo and his team blatantly violated the CPCR Act and entered West Bengal illegally with the sole purpose of maligning the state,” WBCPCR chairperson Ananya Chakraborty told PTI.
