The legislator and his supporters allegedly chased Laskar to the police outpost, vandalised his vehicle and prevented the police personnel from doing their duties, she said. Laskar received injuries and also alleged that his gold chain and cash amounting to Rs 10,000 was snatched by Choudhury’s accomplices, the SP said. The police registered an FIR and arrested Choudhury under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly ”assaulting” the person and others and ”wrongfully restraining” police personnel from performing their duties.
