Police Wednesday arrested Congress worker Firoz, alias Shahbaz, in connection with the smearing of AICC prez Mallikarjun Kharge‘s poster with ink in Kolkata, prompting a backlash from Bengal Congress, which alleged police framed the wrong person. “Firoz has been an active Congress worker. Had police looked into CCTV footage, they could have easily identified the real culprit,” a state Congress functionary said Thursday.
