She claimed the entire incident was conspired by BJP leader Rakesh Singh, who she alleged was close to Vijayvargiya, the party’s National General Secretary.
Singh was arrested soon after from Galsi area of West Bengals Purba Bardhaman district after he failed to acknowledge a summom from the Kolkata Police.
Both Singh and Goswami have been sent to police custody by the court. In its primary investigation, the police anticipates that the cocaine seized from BJP youth leader’s car was brought from outside West Bengal. A special team of Kolkata Police will travel to three states to continue its investigation.
On the other hand, Singh has consistently refused the accusation against him and said that Kolkata Police was using Goswami for a foul play against BJP and its leaders under the influence of TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee.
The police has not yet revealed what was his role was in the entire incident, other than what’s already known from Goswami’s allegation. However, news reports have emerged showing personal links between the Yuba Morcha leader and the Congress-turncoat.
