“This morning, when everyone was busy in Puja for Navratri, several jehadis and goons under the protection of Namit Singh, an accused in the NIA cases and son of the local Trinamool Congress Councillor and the supervision of the local police attacked my office-cum-residence Mazdoor Bhawan. The local Police played a role of mute spectator as the goons were brandishing firearms openly in front of the Police,” Singh posted.
