BURDWAN: BJP MP and actor
George Baker was allegedly attacked by Trinamool supporters with lathis in Kalna where he had gone to attend BJP's '
Vistarak Yojna
' programme on Saturday. His car was also allegedly damaged. Baker later lodged an FIR against alleged Trinamool supporters with Kalna police after which four persons were arrested. Trinamool, though, denied the charge.
On Saturday, Baker along with his wife and party workers were driving past the Trinamool party office in ward No. 5 under Kalna municipality around 1:40am, when 10-12 alleged
Trinamool Congress supporters attacked his car. "When Baker got down from his car, he was also attacked," said a source.
Baker he told TOI " SP Purba Bardhaman was already informed regarding BJP's programme. At ward 5 some Trinamool men attacked our car. When I got down from my car they attacked me with wickets and lathis. They also damaged my vehicle. Even, Kalna municipality chairman
Debobrata Bag
misbehaved with me. I never faced such an incident in my life. There is no democracy in Bengal."
Bag said: "Our party men were not involved. It's BJP's internal clash. They are trying to malign Trinamool." SDPO Kalna, Priyobrata Roy, said: "We have received an FIR and arrested four persons."
