Kolkata, March 24
The Kolkata police are once again in news for intimidating Customs officials deployed at the NSCBI Airport for daring to search the baggage of TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee’s wife.
Banerjee, nephew of CM Mamata Banerjee and an MP who is seeking re-election from Diamond Harbour constituency, is widely perceived as Mamata’s political successor. BJP MP Swapan Dasgupta questioned why Airport police station was refusing to register an FIR that the Customs wanted to file.
When Rujira Naroola, Banerjee’s wife, and the other woman landed from Bangkok on the intervening night of March 15 and March 16, they refused to let Customs officials check their luggage. They called Kolkata police which warned Customs official of arrest if they didn’t let the two women leave the airport. — TNS
