KOLKATA: The West Bengal police have lodged a First Information Report (FIR) against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate and former judge of the Calcutta High Court, Abhijit Gangopadhyay, for allegedly assaulting dismissed school employees at their protest site. The FIR also names Bharatiya Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leader Prashanta Das.
According to media, Gangopadhyay and Das have been booked for attempt to murder and other offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) following a complaint by certain teaching and non-teaching staff members who lost their jobs after a ruling from the Calcutta High Court.
The incident reportedly occurred on May 4 when Gangopadhyay, accompanied by party colleague Suvendu Adhikari, led a rally before submitting his nomination papers for the Tamluk Lok Sabha seat. During the rally, some BJP supporters allegedly assaulted the protest site of primary teachers who had lost their jobs.
Following the incident, the affected teachers lodged a complaint with the police against Justice Gangopadhyay and Das.
