Debolina Dutta Mukherjee’s husband, Tathagata Mukherjee, approached the Calcutta police and West Bengal Women’s Commission after she was subjected to trolling for her comment on beef-eating, on a television show. Tathagata urged the police and the Commission to take note of her online sexual harassment.
Following a meeting in Purulia, Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee made a reference to the threats by saying, “BJP is threatening an actor. Bengal will shut their mouths.”
