“I will do tandav (dance of destruction). What’s the time now? I am giving you (the police) time till 7pm. Arrest them (protesters) immediately. I don’t want to listen to any story, or else, I will break open their houses and burn them down.”
This is not a dialogue from one of the superhit Bollywood action film but a real threat coming from Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal. The leader was caught on camera intimidating Opposition leaders with dire consequences.
He asked the police to arrest Opposition leaders failing which he would take law onto his own hands.
“I don’t care which CPM or Congress leaders are here. If they create trouble, I will break their arms and legs. If you don’t arrest them, I will take things into my own hands” Mondal announced aloud, flanked by his supporters even as Birbhum deputy superintendent of police (HQ) in Kashinath Mistry looked on in awe, fumbling for words.
