Amid BJP’s continued allegations of State repression of its workers and leaders the Kolkata Police on Wednesday grilled super star Mithun Chakrabarty for allegedly provoking violence during the elections.
The actor who was currently in Puri was virtually grilled for about 45 minutes by the additional Officer in-charge of the Manicktalla Police Station and was asked whether he had incited people through his speeches or not.
The Bollywood star had campaigned for the BJP in the State polls and had apparently in a bid to perk up the crowds recited a number of dialogues from Bengali films that he had acted in.
Out of those dialogues a famous one was “Marbo ekhane … Laash porbe smashaney (will hit you here and your corpse will fall at the funeral ground)” that Chakrabarty had repeatedly performed in his public
meetings.
Post polls an alleged TMC supporter Mrityunjay Paul lodged a complaint with the Manicktulla Police station in North Kolkata seeking action against the
Mumbai star. Subsequently cases were registered against him under Sections 153, 504, 505 of the IPC.
Chakrabarty had earlier petitioned the High Court for an anticipatory bail but the Court had directed him to cooperate with the police virtually.
