In yet another instance of post poll conflict, a youth in the Malbazar area of Jalpaiguri district was allegedly threatened by a local Trinamool Congress leader for making a post on social media about the Narada sting operation.

The post featured a collage of many Trinamool leaders who were seen taking bribes in the sting footage.

The youth, Rohit Passi, is a member of the civil society organisation Akranto Amra, whose founder member Ambikesh Mahapatra has contested the Assembly polls as a Left and Congress-supported Independent candidate.

“Last Wednesday I made a post on Facebook about the Narada sting operation and a local TMC student leader threatened to assault me in his comments,” Mr. Passi told The Hindu.
