In an interview given to a local media channel, IPS officer Jaspreet Singh confirmed that LoP Suvendu Adhikari called him Khalistani and he even has the video to support his claim.

Protesters at the BJP office in Kolkata demanded an apology from the party, Prime Minister Modi, and Union Home Minister Shah.

BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul, accompanying Adhikari, claimed that the police officer wasn't fulfilling his duties, but dismissed the allegation that BJP supporters called him a 'Khalistani'.
