“No money was demanded, nor was there any vandalism or assault,” he said. “A probe is underway,” a Barasat officer said. BJP leaders denied the allegation, claiming they had gone there to shut the restaurant as an illegal prostitution racket was allegedly operating from an adjoining hotel. BJP state committee member Tarun Kanti Ghosh has been accused of leading the attack. Restaurant management also named local BJP mandal president Bikash Das and Sanat Das. Ghosh denied the charges.
