‘I am not secure with current KP contingent in Raj Bhavan’

Kolkata: Governor C V Ananda Bose on Thursday said that he was apprehending a threat to his security because of the presence of the current contingent of Kolkata Police (KP) posted at Raj Bhavan here.

His statement came days after he ordered the police personnel to vacate the Raj Bhavan premises. They, however, are still on duty in the Governor House.

“I have reasons to believe that the presence of the current officer-in-charge and his team is a threat to my personal security,” Bose told a news agency.

“I have informed CM Mamata Banerjee that I am insecure with Kolkata Police in Raj Bhavan, but there was no action,” he said.

Sources in the Governor House said Bose has complained to the state government that there has been constant snooping by the police personnel posted in Raj Bhavan and he could sense that they were doing it on the insistence of “influencers” from outside.

“The policemen posted here have been snooping on my movements as well as many of my officers.

Their acts are with the tacit support of their political masters in government. This is violative of the Constitution,” Bose said.

Bose claimed he had information about the “misdeeds” of the police contingent posted in Raj Bhavan, under the current officer-in-charge.
