Repeatedly subjected to harassment by police, slams Bengal BJP chief Sukanta petitions Calcutta HC
The Political and Business Daily
|July 03, 2025
UNION Minister and the state BJP president in West Bengal, Sukanta Majumdar, on Wednesday, approached the single-judge bench of the Calcutta High Court accusing the West Bengal Police of excesses against him through repeated and unnecessary harassment.
-
The single-judge bench of Justice Tirthankar Ghosh has admitted the petition. The matter is expected to come up for hearing during the current week only.
During the last couple of months, there have been several instances of a face-off between Majumdar and the police. Last month after his convoy was attacked at Diamond Harbour in South 24 Parganas district allegedly by Trinamool Congress activists, he accused the police force present at the spot, including Diamond Harbour Police District superintendent Rahul Goswami and the SDPO of Diamond Harbour, of refraining from taking any preventive or protective action to prevent the attack.
