West Bengal’s government reassigned IPS officer Bushra Bano following a complaint lodged by the Hindu Legal Fund, a right‑wing organization, to the state’s home secretary. The grievance concerned Bano’s remarks in a video where she used Islamic greetings such as ‘Assalamu Alaikum,’ ‘Inshallah’ and ‘Jazakallah.’ The transfer was announced as a response to the objection.
