The West Bengal police said the claims made by Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari about a person standing beside Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in a photograph as ‘fake’
Mr. Adhikari had on Friday tweeted a photograph of Mamata Banerjee at Rampurhat circled out a man, identifying him as Tulu Mondal describing him “infamous for operating illegal stone & sand quarries”. “The fact that he’s standing in close proximity to the CM, that too on an important visit after the #BirbhumMassacre, without being part of the administration reveals a lot,” the BJP leader further wrote.
The West Bengal Police, not only refuted Mr. Adhikari’s claims but added that the “allegations have been done with mischievous intentions to malign and defame”.
