Author Ashis Nandy, who stoked a controversy with comments that people from OBC, SC and ST were the ‘most corrupt’ left Jaipur on Sunday skipping the rest of the literature festival even as a fresh complaint was moved against him and the police sought video footage of his Saturday session.
‘Investigation into the matter is going on. We have sought the video footage of yesterday’s session in which he made the remarks and also his clarification to be put on record,’ Additional Commissioner of Police Girraj Meena said in Jaipur. ‘We have been informed by the organisers that Nandy left the city today but proper action will be taken once the initial probe is over,’ he said. Nandy was to address a session on ‘Hindi English Bhai Bhai’ at the festival on Sunday morning, but didn’t.
