TMC leader Shahidul Miya hid under a bed after locals surrounded his residence in West Bengal's Cooch Behar. Shahidul has reportedly been accused of extorting 'cut money' ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹20,000 from locals in connection with the government housing scheme. Sharing the incident's video, BJP's Amit Malviya said, "Cut-money scam...is now producing scenes straight out of a political farce."
