The city police on Tuesday seized the Visitors’ Book of the Netaji Birthplace Museum in which a visitor had used abusive language against Jawaharlal Nehru.
“The book has been sealed and handed over to the museum authorities to keep it in safe custody,” informed local Inspector of Police Anil Kumar Beuria.
He also informed that the police have obtained the CCTV footages from the museum to physically identify the culprit visitor.
Under the signature of one Pramod Ranjan Dey of Bhubaneswar, offensive remarks were made against Nehru in the Visitors’ Book last Sunday. local Congress leaders taking umbrage to the remarks have lodged an FIR at the Darghabazar police station.
Meanwhile, police are tracking the telephone number that was written along the signature of Dey and are hopeful to apprehend the culprit soon. “His telephone appears to be switched off now. But we are hopeful of tracking him soon,” Beuria asserted.
