The accused has been identified as Mehboob Mallick.
Chakraborty complained that the accused heckled her for singing devotional songs and asked her to sing a ‘secular song’ instead. The singer had filed a complaint in this regard at the Bhagwanpur police station in Purba Medinipur on Saturday.
In her complaint, Chakraborty said, “The program started at 7 pm. It went on smoothly from 7 pm to 7.45 pm. After the first three songs, I was given a proper reception. At 7.45 pm, I finished singing the seventh song of my song list. I was interacting with the audience before moving to the eighth song. That’s when the incident happened.”
