“The police claimed that Amit Sharma was detained on intelligence input that he was going to show black flag during chief minister’s program,” said Roy.

“I met Manish Kumar, manager of Burmamines depot of Bharat Petroleum and showed him this picture and he said that making such a tanker is completely illegal, but it is the responsibility of the local police to investigate it.

The police caught the person who had stolen the pole and sent it to the scrap yard but did not take any action against the scrap yard operator,” said Roy.
