Bengali film actress Swastika Mukherjee was interrogated by police on Saturday in connection with a case stemming from her social media posts following the 2021 West Bengal assembly election results. The police questioning took place at the Gariahat police station in south Kolkata, lasting approximately one hour. The complaint, lodged by a lawyer on May 21, 2021, claims that both Mukherjee and fellow actor Parambrata Chattopadhyay's social media comments incited violence in the state after the BJP's electoral victory. The specific posts in question were made on May 2, 2021, coinciding with the announcement of the election results. Following the recent resurgence of interest in these posts, screenshots of the exchange went viral, prompting the police to investigate the matter further. A senior police officer stated that the investigation is part of a broader inquiry into alleged provocation related to the violence that erupted after the elections, which reportedly resulted in multiple deaths. In recent days, several cases regarding the post-election violence have been filed across various police stations in West Bengal, with some older cases being reopened for further examination.
