Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Tuesday upped the pressure on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, declaring he will "shift base" to Sandeshkhali if Sheikh Shahjahan - the main accused in sexual assault allegations - is not arrested in 72 hours.
The NCSC has recommended President's Rule in Bengal amid violence and political tension after the BJP accused a Trinamool Congress strongman - the on-the-run Sheikh Shahjahan - of sexually assaulting women there.
