Bollywood singer and BJP candidate from West Bengal's Asansol parliamentary constituency Babul Supriyo was served notice to appear before the police against complaint that has been lodged under the Arms Act (besides other sections). The Arms Act prescribes a minimum of six years' imprisonment which may be extended to seven years.
The complaint was lodged by Trinamool Congress leader Senapati Mandal on April 12 after Supriyo filed an FIR alleging that Mandal and his men heckled the singer and assaulted his bodyguard while campaigning in Raniganj in Burdwan district on the day.
Expressing dismay, Supriyo accused the Trinamool of trying to derail his political campaign by implicating him in false cases. Following Supriyo's complaint, the Election Commission had sought a report from the district administration about the alleged assault. The singer, who was earlier accused of hurting religious sentiments by allegedly entering a temple 'drunk', is preparing to file defamation cases against the complainants seeking Rs 2 crore in damages.
