Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday challenged the rebuttal of Delhi Police to her allegations of assault on a boy and his mother from Malda, on the basis of their language.
She said at a government programme in Ilambazar of Birbhum, "I spoke about the boy at a meeting on Monday. He was taken to one police station after another. Check the recording. I also said that they would be threatened. And that is what happened.”
The CM added, “We want the affected to return home. Only then, it will be proven who spoke the truth." Her response came a day after Delhi deputy commissioner of police (East) Abhishek Dhania refuted her claims that she had posted on X about the incident.
The woman had alleged that four policemen in civil clothes had taken them to a secluded area, beaten them up and demanded `25,000 which the family gave.
On Monday evening, Dhania had said: … we found out that the whole story told by this lady is baseless...During the interrogation, she mentioned that her relative, who lives in the Malda district of West Bengal, is a political worker, and on his request, she made this baseless video and shared it with him."
Meanwhile, Kanthi BJP MP Soumendu Adhikari lodged a complaint with the cyber crime branch of the Delhi Police against the Trinamul Congress supremo for spreading rumours against the cops.
