NEW DELHI: A major political row broke out on Thursday after West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose submitted a detailed report to President Droupadi Murmu and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on the alleged gang-rape of a Dalit medical student in Durgapur.

The move sparked criticism from the Opposition as the Congress and Samajwadi Party accused the Centre and Governors of showing "selective activism" in states ruled by non-BJP parties.

A Raj Bhavan insider confirmed that the Governor's report contains his observations from a recent visit to Durgapur, where he met the victim's family, though specific details of the report remain undisclosed.
