A division bench of the Calcutta High Court, on Tuesday, directed the West Bengal Police to submit a report on the actions taken by the police administration in the incidents of eggs being thrown at political leaders and workers in the state since the results of the recently concluded Assembly elections were declared on June 4.
The division bench of the High Court’s Acting Chief Justice Tapabrata Chakraborty and Justice Partha Sarathi Chatterjee gave this direction to the state police after hearing on public interest litigation (PIL) filed by the Trinamool Congress.
In the PIL, the petitioners accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists of throwing eggs towards Trinamool Congress leaders, including former and present elected public representatives from the party, in the presence of the police, with the cops remaining mute spectators during those egg attacks.
