West Bengal law enforcement moves fast: Three arrests mark progress in the harassment complaint filed by actress-turned-politician Mimi Chakraborty against an event organizer in Bongaon. Tanay Shastri and two associates were nabbed Thursday when they allegedly thwarted a police probe at his residence.
The flashpoint occurred Sunday at a Nayagopalganj gathering. Performing energetically, Chakraborty says Shastri disrupted her set, barked orders to leave unfinished, and displayed shocking rudeness. Her emailed police report emphasized the snub after she opted out of a post-show house call, a step other performers took.
Community unrest followed her formal grievance on Monday. Shastri rejected every accusation, calling them inventions. He noted her significant delay yet claimed courteous stage access was provided. The tipping point: obstructing officers at home, resulting in custody.
Promotion duties for ‘Bhanupriya Bhuter Hotel’ keep Chakraborty occupied, with no comment yet. Beyond the personal clash, this incident fuels discourse on performer dignity, timely arrivals, and organizer responsibilities. Ongoing inquiries promise clarity amid heightened public interest.
