West Bengal Assembly to Take Up Anti-Thug Preventive Detention Bill Monday

The West Bengal government is set to introduce a new bill in the state assembly on Monday. The legislation is designed to curb anti-social elements, commonly referred to as 'thugs,' operating in the state. A key provision of the bill grants authorities the power to detain individuals preventively, even before any crime is committed. The government can order detention if it believes a person is likely to engage in anti-social activity in the future.
