Kolkata: A man was arrested for trying to enter West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's residence in Kolkata impersonating as a doctor, police said today.
The 30-year-old man produced an identity card of a doctor engaged with a healthcare establishment in Pune but it turned out to be fake.
A senior Kolkata Police officer said the man wanted to meet the chief minister yesterday on the pretext of expanding the healthcare facility in the state.
