Bikash Bhattacharyya
Bhattacharya wrote in his post: “At around 10.47, a Hindu extremist named Sukanta Mondal (phone number 7908*) called and threatened to kill me and my family members.
If necessary, I will exercise my right to self-defence. ” Later, the former Kolkata mayor said, “I have not informed the police yet. Kolkata: Days after an attack targeting his residence, former CPM MP Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya has allegedly received death threats from an unidentified caller. He also made vile insinuations about my late mother. Such disgusting remarks are typical of Hindu extremists. I am now waiting to see what action the CM, who also holds the police portfolio, will take in this matter. I am in Chennai right now. I will exercise my right to self-defence at the right time. Recently, unknown assailants attacked Bhattacharya’s residence in Kolkata, leading him to publicly accuse Hindutva supporters on social media. Following those comments, multiple FIRs were registered against him across various police stations.
