Subhro Maitra MALDA: Having an affair with someone linked to the corridors of power is fine, but if it doesn't culminate in marriage, the results can be disastrous. Eighteen year-old girl Himadri Burman learnt it the hard way after she broke up with senior CPM minister Sailen Sarkar's domestic help Ananta Roy and married Subhas Burman. The love story soon took a turn for the worse, with Himadri lodging a kidnap complaint with police against her husband within two days of their elopement and marriage. Subhas has been arrested.
In her complaint with Gajole police, Himadri claimed she was drugged and kidnapped by Subhas. Himadri's father Biswanath Roy, who accompanied her to the police station, refused to open up. Roy only hinted that he was under "pressure".
Soon after the marriage, police reached Subhas Burman's Gournandanbati house at Bamangola on Saturday and asked Himadri to show an age proof. The verification over, Himadri told police that she had married Subhas voluntarily. Subhas also pleaded with police not to disturb them as they were leading a happy married life.
Villagers have questioned the police's motive, and why the officers had come despite no one lodging a complaint. Subhas had reportedly hinted that Ananta, Himadri's former fiance, had pulled strings.
On Sunday, the newlyweds went to a local fair. Suddenly, Subhas found his wife missing. Unable to spot her, Subhas went to Bamangola PS to lodge a diary. But police reportedly detained him. This was the same time that Himadri lodged the drug-and-kidnap complaint against him. "I was not conscious when police came to Subhas's house on Saturday as I had been drugged," she claimed.
Ananta could not be reached for comments. Even CPM minister Sailen Sarkar is not taking calls. Sarkar has told CPM's Malda secretary Jiban Moitra that he had no hand in the development. "The minister told me that he has no role," Moitra said.
Malda SP Bhuban Mandal said, "We arrested Subhas after the girl lodged a complaint."..published on 2.2.2010
