Kolkata:
On Thursday, Narada News CEO Mathew Samuel wrote to Kolkata Police asking it to
reconsider his request to withdraw the summon against him in connection with
its probe into the Narada sting operation, since the matter is sub-judice and
under consideration of the Calcutta High Court.
The
Assistant Commissioner of Economic Offence Wing of Kolkata Police Detective
Department on July 1 had dismissed Samuel’s request to withdraw the summon and
issued a fresh one asking him to appear within seven days, which ended on
Thursday.
In
his mail to Kolkata Police, Mathew wrote, “In response to your notice mailed to
me on July 1, 2016, it has been stated that a case has been registered at the
New Market Police Station under Indian Penal Code Sections 120B, 469, 505(1B),
171G, 500 (Punishment for defamation).” “I have already responded to you that
the matter is under consideration at the Calcutta High Court and I have
submitted all documents, materials, original footage and all the equipment that
I have used as per the direction of the High Court.”
“Despite
my response, I have again received a memo dated July 1, 2016 seeing my
presence. In this regard I reiterate that the subject matter is pending for
consideration of the Calcutta High Court,” he said.
Stating
that he was yet to receive a copy of the complaint in the case, Samuel
requested the police to provide him the copy. “You may also kindly note that
apart from sending the above memo dated July 1, 2016, I have not yet been
served with a copy of the complaint which is the basis for the case no 248.
Hence I humbly request you to provide me a complete set of complaint,” the mail
read.
