Court Issues Arrest Warrant Against Union Minister Babul Supriyo.
Kolkata, Mar 10 (PTI) – A city court today issued an arrest warrant against Union minister and BJP MP Babul Supriyo in connection with a case filed by the police on a complaint by a Trinamool Congress MLA.
Acting on a charge sheet filed by the Kolkata Police yesterday, the Alipore court issued a bailable arrest warrant against Supriyo.
The Union minister had been summoned thrice in connection with the case, but each time he failed to appear citing a variety of reasons, according to a Kolkata police officer.
TMC MLA Mohua Moitra had on January 4 lodged a complaint against Supriyo alleging that the BJP MP had “used words” intended to “insult her modesty” during a live show on a TV channel.
In the complaint she also alleged that Supriyo had tried to make fun of her name by linking it to ‘Mohua’, a local drink, in the TV show on January 3.
The police had also submitted a footage of the TV programme to the court in which the remarks were allegedly made, the police officer said.
Supriyo, however, could not be immediately contacted for response.
