A BJP youth leader was caught on camera beating a man outside Kolkata’s ICCR auditorium on Saturday. The BJP was holding an event discussing the book ‘Modi@20: Dreams Meet Delivery’ inside the auditorium when the incident took place.
Former union minister Prakash Javadekar, who was the main speaker of the event, was towards the end of his speech when the youth leader was seen dragging a man out of the auditorium. The BJP leader has been identified as Abhijit Naha, youth wing leader of North Kolkata.
The man he attacked was identified as Sabyasachi Roy Chowdhury.
Abhijit alleged that Roy Chowdhury was a “Trinamool insider” who cheated him of his money. He said Sabyasachi took money from others too, adding, “He is no one in the party. He is a TMC man who cheated many people. He took money from others in the name of IPS officers”.
However, Sabyasachi Roy Chowdhury said he is a lawyer and came to the event to meet BJP leader Samik Bhattacharya. Bhattacharya agreed that he is acquainted with Chowdhury.
