Kolkata:  The West Bengal police has finger in every pie of Governance, the State Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar alleged that the state politicized the police. He wrote a letter to Chief Minister Mamatha Benerjee on Sunday, he said the death of Madan Ghorai of Kanakpur village of East Midnapore district is yet another instance of “dehumanising torture, assault and death” in custody.

And also he asserted that such incidents, dotting the state, have assumed “horrendous proportions, impeaching the credibility of rule of law”. Madan Ghorai was arrested on September 26 in connection with a kidnapping case. The police had said he was in judicial custody and not in its custody as claimed by BJP.

Governor in his letter said “High time you redeem your constitutional oath and enforce rule of law, ensure ”democratic governance” in the state, make police and administration ”politically neutral” and accountable”. The governor also urged the chief minister to address the issues flagged by him on a priority basis.
