Bidhannagar

One nabbed for posing as state DGP

The cyber cell of Bidhannagar Police today arrested one person from Rajasthan in connection with conning police personnel at the lower rung of the state police by opening a fake profile in the name of state DGP Manoj Malviya.

Krishna Chakraborty elected new Bidhannagar mayor 

With Mrs Chakraborty ‘s election as the mayor of the BMC was a foregone conclusion, the focus today was on Mr Dutta, the MLA-turned rebel, who bowed out as the mayor of the Bidhannagar civic body following distrust expressed against him by 35 councillors of the party who unanimously wanted the Trinamul Congress leadership sack him from his post.

Party vs Mayor

With the benefit of hindsight, one could argue that the inner-party rivalry between real estate syndicates has contributed not a little to the latest kerfuffle not the least because Dutta's bete noire and a rival real estate activist, Sujit Bose, ~ now a minister of state with one-time CPI-M membership as part of his CV ~ was present at Sunday's meeting when the factional infighting was palpable enough.
