A day after Trinamool Congress MLA Arjun Singh had alleged that his car was attacked by the police, Barrackpore police commissionerate today initiated an inquiry.
"We have set up an inquiry committee to look into the matter and allegations," a senior official of the Barrackpore commissionerate said.
Singh had yesterday alleged that a group of 30-40 policemen under an ACP had attacked his vehicle in front of the Baranagar Police Station with lathis.
He had also questioned whether it was a ploy to kill him.
Singh today submitted a complaint to the police commissioner of Barrackpore commissionerate.
DC, DD Barrackpore Police Commissionerate C Sudhakar, had yesterday denied the incident saying the police were only doing routine checking.
"We were conducting a routine check-up of vehicles and we did not know the MLA was inside the car. After seeing him, we said sorry and left," Sudhakar said rubbishing Singh's claim of police attacking his vehicle.
"Nothing of that sort happened. Only his respect might have been hurt but we apologised," the officer had said.
