West Bengal Governor bars police from Raj Bhavan amid sexual assault allegations
Kolkatta: West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has prohibited police from entering the Raj Bhavan premises following allegations of sexual assault against him. The move comes amidst escalating tensions between the state government and the Raj Bhavan.
The Governor's decision to ban police entry is purportedly to prevent unauthorised and politically motivated investigations into the allegations. This development follows a complaint filed by a female Raj Bhavan employee accusing the Governor of sexual harassment.
In response to the accusations, Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya made public statements against the Governor, resulting in him barring the police from entering the Raj Bhavan premises in Kolkata, Darjeeling, and Barrackpore.
The Raj Bhavan has issued a statement asserting that the allegations against the Governor are unfounded, and legal action is being considered against those making defamatory remarks. The matter has drawn significant attention in West Bengal, with ongoing investigations into the allegations.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General of India has been consulted for further legal advice on the situation. The timing of these events coincides with the impending visit of the Prime Minister to the state, adding to the complexity of the situation.
