Actor-turned-BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty was questioned by the Kolkata Police on Wednesday following a complaint against him accusing him of inciting post-poll violence through his speeches during the Assembly election campaigning.
Police sources said that the actor, who is currently in Pune, was interrogated virtually at around 10.20 am.
It has been alleged in the FIR that the actor by uttering dialogues such as 'Marbo ekhane lash porbe shoshane' (Will hit you here and the body will land in the crematorium) and 'Ek chobole chobi' (A snakebite will turn you into a photograph, meaning will kill you) at a rally after joining the BJP on March 7, fuelled post-poll violence.
He has also been accused of inciting public mischief through his speeches and causing a breach of peace.
The interrogation was conducted by officials of the Maniktala Police Station in Kolkata.
Earlier the Calcutta High Court instructed Chakraborty to provide his email address to the Kolkata Police so that he could be available through video conferencing for interrogation.
The case will come up for hearing on June 18.
