West Bengal Governor directs Raj Bhavan staff to ignore communications related to sexual harassment charges against him

West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose on May 5 directed all Raj Bhavan staff to ignore any communication from the Kolkata Police in connection with the complaint filed on May 2 by a female Raj Bhavan employee, complaining that he had sexually harassed her. The Governor has also banned the entry of police personnel into the Raj Bhavan.

“It is clear that in view of Article 361 (2) and (3) of the Constitution of India, the state police cannot act in any manner whatsoever to inquire/investigate/set in motion any kind of proceedings against the hon’ble governor,” a post by Raj Bhawan Kolkata said.
