The police have rearrested Dipanjan Mitra on the charge of again sending threat messages to Leader of Trinamool Congress in Lok Sabha, Sudip Bandyopadhyay.

Mitra, 39, was arrested from his residence in Kasba area here, police said today.

When produced at a city court, he was granted bail and was directed to present himself at the Taltala police station thrice a week.

Mitra, a web designer and a freelance photographer, was earlier arrested on December 23 for allegedly sending threatening texts to Bandyopadhyay and he was on bail since then. However, it appears, he sent such messages again last week and was arrested again last night.
 

TMC party chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had earlier said Bandyopadhyay received the threat messages only because he was vocal on several issues in Parliament including intolerance.
