A woman hurled slippers at former Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee outside the ESI hospital on Tuesday. The incident happened when the Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials took Partha and his close aide Arpita Mukherjee to the hospital at Joka for a medical checkup.
“Such leaders are embezzling public money, that's why I threw a shoe,” said the woman after hurling slippers at him.
The woman further said, "I came here to buy medicine... He looted the poor to buy flats and AC cars. He should be tied up and dragged on the streets. I shall go home without my shoes."
Earlier in the day, talking about the money recovered from her flats, Arpita said, "The money does not belong to me, it was kept there in my absence". The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had earlier recovered more than Rs 50 crores in cash from her houses in Kolkata.
Both Partha and Arpita have been sent to ED custody till August 3 in connection with the alleged SSC recruitment scam case in West Bengal.
Following the recovery of almost Rs 50 crores from Arpita's flats, the Trinamool Congress suspended Partha Chatterjee and he was removed from the Bengal ministry following his arrest by the ED.
