KOLKATA: <b>For the first time in the electoral history of West Bengal, the Election Commission today filed a complaint with the police against senior CPI(M) leader and state Transport minister Subhas Chakraborty for allegedly making ‘threatening’ statements against government officials on poll duty.</b>

“We have received a written complaint from CEO against Subhas Chakraborty and the case has been registered under section 186 of IPC," a police official at the Lake Town police station said .

Asked about the next course of action against the senior leader, state Chief Secretary A K Deb said an investigation would be conducted on the basis of the complaint.

To a question, he said the compliance report to EC would be sent by the Chief Electoral Officer. The written complaint, filed on behalf of CEO Debashis Sen, came following an EC directive to him last night. The compliance report has to be sent by April 6.

Sen returned from Delhi on Wednesday after attending a meeting with the EC.

If he found guilty under section 186 of IPC, he may have to undergo three months of imprisonment or pay fine of Rs 500 or both.
