The problem started when I found out that my maid was spying on me for Shobha Chandrachud. They hired him when I was busy in elections.

Talking further about Chakraborty Chandrachud he said,
Soon, Chandrachud rented a house right opposite mine and started harassing me and my daughter. He would come home drunk every night and ask me to open the door; He threatened to shout and create ruckus if I did not talk to him. He even used to follow my daughter to her school bus stop and harass her. It became difficult for us to live in our own house because Chandrachud always kept an eye on what we were doing. He used to talk and smoke in front of my house with his journalist friends till after midnight. He would often say, ‘I will make sure bad things are written about you,’ but I ignored it because I didn’t think he was serious. One and a half months after removing my maid, I learned that she had filed a complaint against me, claiming that I had hit her and that I had locked her daughter in a room.
