KOLKATA: The city police summoned six more Raj Bhavan employees to Hare Street police station in connection with the molestation complaint lodged by a woman staffer in Raj Bhavan (who has since quit her job). On May 2, the woman filed a complaint with police stating that CV Ananda Bose, governor of West Bengal, had molested her. She stated in her complaint that it was the second time since April 24 that the governor had molested her.
“These six people who have now been called include a woman.
They have all been identified from CCTV footage provided to us by PWD (which maintains CCTVs at Raj Bhavan) as being present near the woman on the days when the alleged incidents took place. Earlier, we asked the special secretary, a doctor, and supervisor to join the probe,” a police source said.
This takes the total number of people asked to join the investigation to nine, Lalbazar (Kolkata Police HQ) said. All of them have been asked to report at Hare Street police station on Monday.
So far, the statement of a Raj Bhavan chef has been found to be of crucial value, police sources said.
Governor Bose did not react to Sunday’s developments till late evening.
