KOLKATA: West Bengal governor CV Ananda Bose expressed concerns about his personal security on Thursday, stating that the current Kolkata Police contingent stationed at Raj Bhavan poses a threat to his safety. This statement follows his recent order for the police personnel to leave the Governor House premises, which has not been complied with as they continue to perform their duties there.
“I have reasons to believe that the presence of the current officer-in-charge and his team is a threat to my personal security,” Bose told PTI.
“I have informed Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee that I am insecure with Kolkata Police in Raj Bhavan, but there was no action,” he said.
According to sources within the governor house, Bose has lodged a complaint with the state government, alleging that the police personnel posted in Raj Bhavan have been constantly snooping on him. He suspects that this surveillance is being carried out at the behest of external "influencers."
