Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today blamed the traffic police constable on duty for seizing the license of the city mayor's niece unnecessarily, saying she was only a little girl.
Banerjee told the Assembly that the mayor's niece was a little girl and that there was a huge furore in the state about the incident in which the girl was allegedly driving in a drunken state and violated traffic rules on Friday night.
"Why was the girl's driving license seized by the police?" the chief minister wanted to know and said that let there be a probe and law would take its own course.
She said that not all politicians were honest and noted that it was due to a few policemen that these things were happening, which were being witnessed everyday.
Everybody needs counselling and hope things would get resolved, she said.
