Kolkata : A man has been arrested for sneaking into CM Mamata Banerjee's residence in south Kolkata’s Kalighat area; it has been learned that he was inside the building premises for a couple of hours before he got snapped by the security personnel of the CM.

According to reports, the man scaled a wall of Banerjee’s house at 34B Harish Chatterjee Street to enter around 1 am. He spent the night sitting in a corner of the building, hiding from everyone. In the morning, he was spotted by the security personnel and was later handed over to the police.

The probe is on and the police is trying to find the motive behind the man's illegal entry into the building.

Meanwhile, the incident has raised several questions on security lapses, questioning how the man managed to escape the cover of a large number of security personnel to enter the building.

Initial reports suggest that he was a thief and did not know that the building is a residence of CM Mamata Banerjee. However, the police have not yet ruled out other angles.
