Why Sukhendu Ray Is Being Summoned?

However, the police has denied the information regarding dog squad being sent to the spot.

Issuing statement, Kolkata Police said ‘The information that sniffer dog was sent after three days is completely wrong. Sniffer dog was sent twice, on 9th and then on 12th (August). A notice under Section 35(1) of BNS has been sent to Sukhendu Sekhar Ray.’

Earlier in his tweet, Sukhendu Ray called for a thorough investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Later, this tweet was opposed by none other than another TMC leader Kunal Ghosh.
