Days after Trinamool Congress MLA Mohua Moitra lodged a complaint against the Union Minister and BJP leader Babul Supriyo, the Kolkata police have summoned him for interrogation.
Earlier this week, the police lodged a case against Mr. Supriyo under Section 509 of the Indian Penal Code (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) following Ms. Moitra’s complaint that the Minister had made “derogatory remarks” at her during a debate in a television news channel.
The police have summoned Mr. Supriyo to appear for interrogation at the Alipore police station on Thursday.
Minister’s charge
The Minister dubbed Ms. Moitra’s complaint as an “instance of childish behaviour”.
Mr. Supriyo has sent legal notice to Trinamool MPs Saugata Roy and Tapas Paul and Ms. Moitra for making “offensive remarks” against him.
