He was granted bail by the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court in West Tripura.
A police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said a complaint was lodged by a BJP worker that when Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb was addressing a roadside gathering on Saturday night, Ghosh reached there and started shouting ‘khela hobe’. .
“Khela hobe” is a slogan used by the TMC during the assembly elections in West Bengal held in March-April this year. Trinamool Congress leaders alleged that their workers were also assaulted by BJP supporters outside East Agartala Mahila Police Station.
Meanwhile, TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee addressed a press briefing in Agartala on Monday, where he claimed that democracy is under attack in Tripura.
“If voters can exercise their franchise freely, which is highly unlikely given the current situation, the BJP will fail to open its account (in the next assembly elections),” he said.
He further added, “If you need to wear a BJP flag to reach the polling station, do so. Participate in their political programs to save yourself from goons, but cast your vote for the pro-development TMC. “, he adds.
