Debraj Chakraborty, a Trinamool Congress councillor and spouse of Aditi Munshi, a singer-turned-politician and former MLA from Rajarhat-Gopalpur, has been taken into custody by the police. The authorities have not confirmed whether he has been arrested, but he was detained on allegations of involvement in post-election violence following the 2021 Assembly polls. Chakraborty’s interrogation is ongoing, reportedly linked to an earlier case against him.
Sources reveal that Debraj Chakraborty was detained in connection with violence that erupted after the 2021 Assembly election results were announced. The detention is related to the unnatural death of a BJP worker, Prosenjit Biswas, amid allegations of suicide coercion. Chakraborty, a Trinamool councillor in Biddhannagar Municipal Corporation, is being questioned about the same case. No official statement has been released by the police on this matter yet.
Following the BJP’s victory in the elections, there have been calls on social media for Chakraborty’s arrest, accusing him of criminal activities. Aditi Munshi, who lost in the recent Assembly elections, refrained from engaging with the media after her defeat. With the BJP assuming power, there has been a crackdown on illegal activities of Trinamool Congress members, with the police actively pursuing actions against those accused of unlawful behavior.
