The housing of Central Industrial Security Forces, deployed at the hospital where the shocking rape-murder of a doctor took place last month, appears set to be the next flashpoint between Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress and the BJP.

The Centre has now gone to the Supreme Court, contending that the Bengal government must house the CISF personnel who have been delegated to ensure security at the hospital.

Anything less, it said, would amount to contempt of court.
