Indranil Khan said, ‘Look, fear out, trust in. THREAT CULTURE Threat culture was running everywhere in various fields, health sector-education sector. Sports was no exception. Threat culture and intimidation, police administration, Shantanu Sinha talks about Biswas, he was the IC of police, the then chief minister of the state and also the police minister. Mamata Banerjee. I don’t want to talk about politics. But it is unfortunate that he managed to do so much under the cover of politics. He went from IC to DC. And along with him, criminals like Sona Pappu, they were looting land and everything from the elderly people, extortion, running syndicates, threat culture everywhere, as a result of which West Bengal has gone backwards. The playing field will be played, and it will be free of politics.’
