Kolkata: On Friday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata
Banerjee ordered a probe into the Narada
sting operation case; while it was only Saturday when Kolkata Mayor Sovan
Chatterjee’s wife Ratna lodged a complaint against Mathew Samuel, the CEO of Narada news.
The complaint included several offences including charges
of defamation against Samuel, as police sources said EXIN Times.
The move is assumed to be a follow up of CM’s order who has
directed a probe of the Narada sting
operation where many of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders were seen taking
money as bribes, including Sovan. Police said that, “On the basis of Ratna
Chatterjee's complaint, a case has initiated for several offences including
forgery, defamation and criminal conspiracy.”
Following the complaint filing, Ratna said: “Baseless
allegations have been made by the portal with the aim of bringing disrepute to
my family and defame us. This has caused a lot of agony to us, so I filed the
complaint seeking action against those responsible for it.”
When EXIN Times went to ask Samuel’s reaction in this
context, he said that the complaint is a plan and conspiracy. He also added
that he will wait until Calcutta High Court orders the final sentence. Notable,
Kolkata Police has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the
sting.
