Kolaghat: Popular Kolkata singer Debolina Nandy has alleged that she was harassed, abused and chased by a club official in Kolaghat after a stage performance on Thursday night, forcing her to abandon a late-night meal and flee the area.Nandy was performing at Naba Yubak Sangha club in Kaurchandi Gopalpur. Following the incident, a visibly shaken singer went live on social media from her moving car, recounting her ordeal.According to Nandy, she faced snide remarks and accusations of arriving late. Matters escalated when organisers allegedly offered a bundle of cash to her mother as a ‘reward’, which she refused. She also alleged that club officials pressured her to continue performing until 1 am.“The club officials approached me directly and later sent messages through the event anchor, demanding that I continue singing until 1 am,” Nandy claimed.The ordeal did not end at the venue. While driving back toward Kolkata, Nandy and her team stopped at a roadside eatery in Kolaghat for a late-night meal. She alleged that a club official followed her on a motorcycle, hurled abuses at her and threatened the restaurant staff.“I had just started eating when a man from the club arrived on a bike and began threatening and abusing me,” Nandy said.“He entered the hotel and warned the staff that he would shut down their establishment if they served me food. Forced by the intimidation, I had to abandon my meal midway and flee Kolaghat.”Nandy further alleged that the accused—who had earlier disrupted her performance on stage by snatching the microphone—claimed to be a police officer. “It shocks me to think that someone claiming to be from the police, whose duty is to protect us, could harass a helpless woman like this in the dead of night,” she said.The singer said she would approach the local administration and lodge a formal complaint.
