Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari sought the Union Home Minister’s intervention and an NIA probe into the matter. The TMC termed the incident "unfortunate" and blamed the central agency for “trying to malign” its image.
In the High Court, when Justice Gangopadhyay was told about the incident by lawyer Sudipta Dasgupta, he remarked, "I was not aware of this incident. If such an incident happened, then ED officials can draw the attention of the Governor on the law and order situation."
