Kolkata: Governor C V Ananda Bose on Tuesday accepted the resignation of Akhil Giri as the state prisons minister but advised CM Mamata Banerjee that she could conduct an inquiry against Giri on allegations of misconduct.
In a statement, Bose said the resignation on Aug 5 was tabled before him on Tuesday, which he accepted.
Raj Bhavan, in a statement, said that the governor also “observed that the acceptance of resignation of Akhil Giri, however, shall not be construed as absolving him of the responsibility of misconduct against a woman public servant”.tnn
