MALDA, March. 8. — On the basis of a complaint lodged by a woman from English Bazaar to the Election Commission observer for Malda, Mr Manoj Singh, the Malda district magistrate had recently directed the Malda SP to write a letter to his Katihar counterpart to execute the non-bailable arrest warrant against Mr KN Chowdhury, the Malda district Trinamul chief. The DM has also instructed the concerned officials to delete the name of Mr Chowdhury from the electoral rolls on the ground that the latter had been evading arrest. The Malda DM has informed that the Malda SP has already written a letter to the Katihar SP regarding the matter. He further informed that the Katihar police had come to Malda some time back, but returned without arresting the Trinamul chief. “The Katihar police did not even place a requisition before us for executing the case,” he said. “The district magistrate cannot issue such a letter against me,” said Mr KN Chowdhury, referring to the non-bailable arrest warrant issued against him. Sources informed that Mr Chowdhury would move the Patna High Court to seek an anticipatory bail. The anti-Left political parties in Malda, meanwhile, were shocked by the news and have termed it as a conspiracy of the district CPI-M, as Mr Chowdhury has been mulling contesting from English Bazaar constituency on a Congress ticket. It may be noted that Mr Chowdhury was chosen by the Trinamul as its candidate for English Bazaar seat, but the former has stated that he would not contest on behalf of the Trinamul unless there is an alliance between the two parties, the Congress and the Trinamul Congress. On the other hand, it is learnt that Mr Chowdhury may join Congress, if the party offers him a ticket for English Bazaar. “Execution of arrest warrant is nothing but revision of electoral roll to prove that whether he is absconder or ordinarily resident of English Bazaar. “There is no question of deletion of his name from the electoral roll if he is present physically after receiving the notice,” a senior official said. — SNS
