<b>Protect wife and get punched</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Calcutta, Oct. 28: Prasenjit Ghoshâs first mistake was to protest his wifeâs harassment by a man he knew to be a CPM supporter.
The second was ignoring a summons from the party, which wanted to act judge in the matter.
The 35-year-old engineer was kicked and punched in full public glare for about 15 minutes â till he dropped bleeding and unconscious on G.T. Road â yards from his home in Bally on Thursday night.
His family said the attackers were a gang of about 15 â all of them CPM supporters.
Prasenjit, who owns a consultancy firm, was chatting to friends around 9.30 pm when the men came for him.
âThey asked me to accompany them to the CPMâs Palpara office. We had walked just a few yards when they suddenly pounced on me,â the victim said from his bed in a city clinic.
The Ghosh family said none of those named in the FIR â Sudeb Guha, Rabi Bose, Sankar Maitra, Kishu Bhaduri and Rana Ganguly âhad been arrested, courtesy their CPM connection.
