Kolkata: A woman, daughter of a BJP leader, was allegedly molested by a man in Kasba shortly after her father’s arrest for allegedly assaulting an elderly landlord.
According to police sources, the BJP leader operated his party office from a flat in a Kasba building owned by one Chandu Khan. Despite repeated requests, the BJP leader had reportedly refused to vacate the premises.
A few days ago, when Khan again asked him to leave, the BJP leader and his associates allegedly assaulted the elderly man and his son. Following a complaint lodged at Kasba police station, the BJP leader and his son were arrested.
A day after their arrest, the BJP leader’s daughter filed a complaint accusing Khan’s son, Saptarshi Khan, of molestation. Based on her complaint, police have registered a case and arrested Saptarshi. The investigation is underway.
It was also learnt that the BJP leader and his son had earlier been arrested in a separate case of vandalism registered at Entally police station, for which they were later
granted bail.
