"Can Break Your Leg": Union Minister Threatens Man At Event For Differently Abled

Union Minister Babul Supriyo has courted controversy after he threatened to "break a man's leg" during a public event for the differently-abled in West Bengal's Asansol region.

Supriyo, who was invited for the Samajik Adhikarita Shivir, an event organised to donate wheelchairs and other equipment for the differently-abled, got upset at someone from the public and said, "Why are you moving? Please sit down."

According to reports, the union minister lost his calm after being distracted by a man. Supriyo snapped at the man, saying, "What happened to you? Any problem? I can break one of your legs and can give you a crutch."

He then ordered his security to break the man's leg and give him a crutch if he dared to move again. He also asked the audience to give a round of applause for the man.
