Union Minister Babul Supriyo has stirred a controversy after he threatened a man to ‘break his leg’ at a public event in West Bengal’s Asansol city on Tuesday. The minister was invited to Samajik Adhikarita Shivir, an event to donate wheelchairs and other equipments to differently-abled people.

The Union Minister snapped back at the man, saying, “What happened to you? Any problem? I can break one of your legs and can give you a crutch.” Supriyo then ordered his security personnel to break the man’s leg and hand him a crutch if he dared to move further from his place. Ironically, he then asked the audience to give a big round of applause to the man.

This is not the first time that the singer-turned-politician has made such statements.
In March, Supriyo, was on a visit to Asansol, which was one of the areas affected by communal violence following Ram Navami celebrations in the state, when he reportedly lashed out at the agitating crowd, saying he will skin them alive.
