“The conduct of these armed officers indicate that they are making notes of movements to and from my residence, it appears to me that I am under some sort of surveillance,” said the TMC MP in her letter.
“I wish to remind you that Right to Privacy is a Fundamental Right guaranteed to me, as a citizen of this country,” she added.
Moitra also tweeted in this regard and shared the letter written to the Delhi Police Commissioner and Barakhamba Road Police Station SHO.
“Sirs- I request you to kindly remove the personnel immediately @CPDelhi, @cp_delhi, @barakhamba,” she tweeted.
