‘Efficient’ EFR officer no stranger to controversies

His accusations against the state government for the Naxal attack on the Silda camp invited government wrath. But this was not the first time, the Special IG of Eastern Frontier Rifles (EFR) has landed himself in trouble.

Benoy Krishna Chakraborty created headlines by holding a press conference with his face-covered on Saturday in which he accused the state government of “misusing and utterly ignoring” the force. Thereafter, rumours made the rounds that Chakraborty has been suspended. But on Sunday, DGP Bhupinder Singh denied the media reports.

“I have not received any complaints against him,” said Singh.

Throughout his career, Chakraborty had a good share of controversies. He had not only been removed from poll duty by the Election Commissionfor partisan approach, he also once tried to assault his senior officer.

Other than that, Chakraborty has been known for being a sincere and an efficient field officer.
