Governor is expected to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss the state which has been rocked by protests after the horrific rape-murder of a doctor in R.G. Kar Hospital.
Asking the top court to invoke its extraordinary jurisdiction in the case, the complainant, an employee of Raj Bhavan, in her petition says immunity granted to governors can't be absolute.
Kolkata police have booked governor's OSD, pantry staff & peon for allegedly trying to stop woman from filing sexual harassment complaint against governor.
A 'sizeable folder' has been sent to police. Complainant lashes out at Governor CV Ananda Bose for revealing her identity, not including footage from rooms where alleged incident happened.
Governor CV Ananda Bose's office has invited citizens to sign up to watch the footage at Raj Bhavan. Complainant says, 'should have shared CCTV footage on day 1 when police requested it'.
The woman, a contractual worker at Raj Bhavan, has accused Governor Bose of 'inappropriately touching' her on two occasions. Kolkata Police have set up an SIT to probe the matter.
In a statement, Raj Bhavan has called this an 'election ploy', adding that 1 more person 'has been planted with sinister intent'. CV Ananda Bose says he's 'waiting for next grenade'.
Police are yet to register case against CV Ananda Bose & are seeking legal guidance since Article bars criminal proceedings against president & governor during their term in office.
Bose further said that the police direct locals to make compromises with miscreants while 'goonda elements disguised as policemen trespass into the victims’ houses at night'.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
