Personnel of the Kolkata police were on Tuesday stopped from entering the residence of BJP leader Rakesh Singh who was named by the party’s youth-wing activist Pamela Goswami in a drugs case, officials said.

A posse of police personnel went to the residence of Rakesh, a BJP State committee member who is known to be a close aide of party’s national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya, in connection with the case registered at the New Alipore police station, they said.

An argument ensued as Rakesh’s son Saheb stopped the police, seeking legal documents for the visit to their house in the Watgunge police station area in south-west Kolkata, officials said.
