By KOLKATA: an issue erupted on Friday over police allegedly assaulting a Sikh man and pulling his turban during a BJP rally in Howrah in West Bengal , but the police said the person was carrying a firearm which his headgear “had fallen off automatically within the scuffle that ensued”.
The BJP, whose civil disobedience to the state secretariat Nabanna on Thursday witnessed clashes with police, accused the Trinamool Congress government of injuring the emotions of Sikhs.
The incident drew wider social media attraction after cricketer Harbhajan Singh tweeted, tagging chief minister Mamata Banerjee, to say, “Please check out the matter. This just isn’t done.”
