Couldn’t sleep without posting this. My mom got a call from my neighbour (from my hometown) at around 7.30 pm that police(3-4 uniformed officers) were searching for my home. They were saying Kolkata police had asked them to summon me about some post and they searching for my home. They eventually reached my place and my brother and sister in law were present. My brother called me and put me on speaker. ‘Did you post about a student of Burdwan university?’ ‘Yes,I did.’ ‘Did you verify the credibility of the post?’ ‘I did see articles of media houses about the same but I blatantly believed an angle I saw spreading in people’s statuses(that it was related to the ‘Claim the night’ protest). I edited it under the post after verification.’ ‘Please delete the post and don’t further post information without verifying and report to the Town thana tomorrow’ My brother apologised with his hands joined,’She’s just deeply affected with things going on in her fraternity. Please forgive her.’ ‘Ask your sister to not act so smart,her career can be ruined over it.’ There was no notice/summon. My mother was sobbing and calling every person she knows to handle this situation,she was helpless. My brother was ashamed to his core,as the neighbours were asking why police was enquiring for me. I had always been this quiet introverted child who kept all my life,this was shocking for them.
