Trinamool workers held for thrashing prof who circulated cartoons

Kolkata, April 15: Police have arrested four Trinamool Congress workers on Saturday for assaulting Jadavpur University professor Ambikesh Mahapatra, who allegedly circulated “defamatory” cartoons of chief minister Mamata Banerjee. A court granted them bail after a few hours.

Meanwhile, assaulted and forced to spend almost a night in jail Mahapatra is now apprehensive about his own and his family's security. “I am still to come to terms with the assault and my subsequent arrest. Not only my family and I are apprehensive of our security, even other residents of the housing society are now scared,” Mahapatra said on Saturday. - Agencies
