Court posts witness recording of Anubrata case in August-end

A local court today posted for recording of statement of eyewitnesses about the alleged hate speech of Birbhum district Trinamool Congress President Anubrata Mondal in the last week of August after charges were framed against the accused,

Chief Judicial Magistrate Indranil Chatterjee pronounced that the statements of the eyewitnesses would be recorded on August 22-23 after the government lawyer read out the charges framed against Mondal regarding the hate speech case today.

Mondal, who deposed before the court, told the judge that he was innocent.

Mondal, who was accused of delivering a hate speech in July last year at Parui, was granted bail by the court in June against a personal bond of Rs 1,000.
 

The court had summoned him after a case was filed at Parui police station in connection with his allegedly provocative speech, nearly a year after the speech was delivered by Mondol.

Mondal had allegedly instigated his party workers to hurl bombs on the police and torch houses of independent candidates just before the 2013 state panchayet poll.
