Adhir slams Bengal govt over 'trigger-happy' police encounters

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury criticised West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari for giving police a 'free hand', warning of a 'trigger-happy' force undermining rule of law. He questioned the repeated self-defence excuse in encounters and said only the judiciary — not police — can determine guilt, clarifying his stance is not pro-criminal but pro-Constitution.
