Bolpur (WB), Jan 30 (PTI) Amid allegations of "unauthorized occupation" against Nobel laureate Amartya Sen by Visva-Bharati, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday handed over land-related documents to him, asserting that "no one can question him" in future.

Banerjee, who reached Bolpur in second half of the day, visited Sen at his residence and dubbed the accusations made against him as "baseless".

"I respect Visva-Bharati, but condemn the attempts being made to saffronise the hallowed institution," she said.
