Kolkata Police turned down the request of Nupur Sharma to grant her another four weeks’ time

Debjit Mukherjee, Kolkata: Kolkata Police on Wednesday turned down the request of Nupur Sharma to grant her another four weeks’ time to appear before its sleuths in connection with summonses issued to her over cases filed against the suspended BJP spokesperson for her controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammed, a senior officer said.

She was asked to appear before Kolkata Police officers “without wasting much time” he said.

“Nupur Sharma has mailed us seeking some more time for appearing before our officers citing security reasons. But we do not think there is any possibility of an attack on Sharma. We have asked her to appear as soon as possible” the officer said.
