West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday alleged the "torture" and "atrocities" of Bengalis in the national capital, hours before she was scheduled to lead a Trinamool Congress delegation to meet Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the contentious Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state.
Banerjee said she was heading to Banga Bhawan, the West Bengal government's guest house in the capital, to assess the situation of people from the state and to address what she described as excesses by the police.
