Kolkata: West Bengal BJP youth wing leader Pamela Goswami who has been nabbed on February 20 for the cocaine case alleged that the BJP leader Rakesh Singh assaulted her physically.

“Rakesh had physically assaulted me. I am happy with the way Kolkata police are carrying out the investigation. Rakesh has purposely framed me,” said Pamela while being taken to Alipore court.
