Agartala: Senior Congress leader Subal Bhowmik on Tuesday slammed the Tripura Police for summoning him in connection with an alleged defamatory post against Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb and wife Niti on social media.
“There are reasonable grounds to question you to ascertain facts and circumstances…” the notice read.
Bhowmik, however, refused to record his statement at any office and requested the police to visit him at his residence for questioning.
“They have summoned me for questioning. Am I an absconder? If they want to question me, they can come to my house. They are harassing people,” he said.
The senior leader asserted that he did not know anything about Anupam Paul’s whereabouts, who was charged last month for allegedly posting derogatory content about the chief minister’s personal life. (PTI)
