12 Howrah: A Trinamool Congress activist was arrested on Saturday after an MLA from his own party complained against him for allegedly threatening a businessman. Police said the accused, Shubham Das, allegedly dialled Bishwanath Polley and threatened him to quit his business, and leave the area. Das even made murder threats, cops said.
According to cops, the call to Polley was from the office of Domjur MLA Kalyan Ghosh. The MLA said, "On Friday night, a businessman complained to me that he received a threat call from my office and sent me the call record. Upon investigation, I found that no one from my office had made such a call. I immediately sent the call record to Howrah police commissioner Praveen Tripathi and requested an investigation.
"Polley said, "I am very tense after the threat call. While the MLA and the police have reassured me, and cops took swift action, the fear lingers.
