Kolkata: Singer Iman Chakraborty faces 'abuse' on road, files complaint; accused arrested
Kolkata/IBNS: National Award winning Bengali singer Iman Chakraborty has narrated a harrowing experience of facing harassment by a man on the streets of Kolkata prompting her to lodge a complaint with the police.
Taking to Facebook, Iman narrated how a man had passed some sexually suggestive comments at her while she was busy buying some fruits from a roadside vendor in south Kolkata on Thursday night.
Iman said she was returning after playing some sport with her friends.

The accused, named Ranjan Majumder as Iman said, was later arrested.
