123 Asansol: A person was detained for vandalising state law minister Moloy Ghatak's office at his Apcar Garden residence in West Burdwan's Asansol around 4.45pm on Wednesday. Ghatak was in Alipurduar with CM Mamata Banerjee when the incident took place.
Taking advantage of security guards' tea break, the man entered Ghatak's office premises with a brick, and said he wanted to meet the minister. On being told that Ghatak was away, he began shattering table glasstops. Ghatak's wife and sister-in-law encountered the man, and he was handed over to police by the guards. He was detained for questioning.
DCP central ADCP Dhruba Das said: "Vicky Kewra (22) of Asansol's Sahebpara entered the minister's residence and ransacked the office. Police have started investigation and trying to find out his motive."
