Controversy

On 2 May 2024 Bose was accused of sexual harassment by a woman contractual staff of Raj Bhavan, Kolkata. [10] The woman alleged that the Governor had “molested” her on 24 April 2024. [11] Bose completely denied the issue as maligning for political mileage during the 2024 Indian general election [12] and hit back saying “truth would triumph,” and he would not be “cowed down by engineered narratives". [13] [14] The Bharatiya Janata Party and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) also questioned the connections of the women with the governing Trinamool Congress. [15] The woman filed her complaint which was forwarded to the Hare Street Police station. [16] [17] Kolkata Police set up an investigation team and have sought CCTV footages. [18] On 15 May 2024, a different allegation of sexual harassment against Bose was raised by one Odissi dancer. [19] [20] The dancer lodged a complain and accused Bose and his nephew of sexual abuse at Start Hotel in Delhi in January 2023. [21] [20]
