Behrampore: Glass shards were found scattered on the first floor of Congress Lok Sabha leader Adhir Chowdhury’s Gorabazar residence in Behrampore on Saturday night, prompting police to start an inquiry.
CCTV footage from the house showed a kurta-clad youth walking close to Chowdhury Villa amid showers at 11.40 pm. Police suspect the youth had hurled a “brass bell” at the house, breaking the window panes.
Congress MLA from Behrampore Manoj Chakraborty handed over the CCTV clips to the police. “The incident doesn’t speak well of the law and order situation. We want police to identify the culprit,” Chakraborty said.
But Congress didn’t accuse any party of having a hand in the “attack”. Behrampore Town Congress has called a protest rally on Monday demanding immediate arrest of the culprit.
According to locals, Chowdhury stopped staying at this house four years ago following the demise of his wife Arpita. Security guards and a domestic help now stay there while the Congress leader has shifted to his new residence at Cossimbazar.
