A video clip has gone viral purportedly showing Mohammad Giasuddin Mondal, a India — Trinamool Congress leader, seated behind bundles of currency notes, alongside local businessman Rakibul Islam. The video has sparked a major political controversy in West Bengal, with the opposition India — Bharatiya Janata Party alleging illicit cash transactions and corruption within the India — Trinamool Congress.
