Kolkata, June 4 -- Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) councillor Biswajit Mondal was arrested on Thursday in connection with allegations of harassment and assault of a woman, police said on Thursday.
Mondal, the elected representative of Ward 114 and a member of the Trinamool Congress, was arrested following a complaint lodged at the Regent Park Police Station.
The complainant alleged that she was harassed and molested on two occasions, once in March 2024 and again on May 9 this year. She also claimed that her earlier complaint in 2024 was not acted upon by police at the time.
Mondal, a three-term councillor and reportedly close to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, is the fifth KMC councillor to be arrested in recent days.
