A woman filed the complaint at Uluberia Police Station, prompting the action. Authorities await the police report and will take necessary legal action if the jawan is found guilty. Amid tight security, voting for the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha polls began in West Bengal, with over 57% of polling stations designated as sensitive.
