A Durgapur court Monday remanded a retired railway employee, 63, in two days' police custody for threatening to attack Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's car in a social media post, reports Mohammad Asif. Badal Laskar was arrested after a lawyer complained against him. The FIR alleged he was trying to stoke unrest in Bengal. TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh also posted on X the screengrab of a YouTube video captioned, "Why should not Ghosh be gunned down?" Police charged Laskar under BNS sections that mostly deal with breach of peace, promoting enmity and defamation. They also invoked BNS section 152, which deals with inciting violence, attacking the country's unity and integrity, and carries life imprisonment as punishment.
