The Kolkata Police on Thursday constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the vandalism of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar’s statue at Vidyasagar College in Kolkata on 14 May.
The statue of Vidyasagar was vandalised during the violent clashes that broke out during BJP chief Amit Shah’s roadshow in the city, days before the last phase of polling.
The vandalism of the statue of the noted social reformer has snowballed into a controversy as both BJP and TMC are at loggerheads with each other.
