Kolkata, Aug 12 (IBNS): The Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate on Friday arrested a man and a woman in Kolkata's satellite town Salt Lake for forging West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's signature, reports said.

According to reports, a Baguiati-based promoter, Rajiv Ghosh, applied for an apartment's plan-sanction before the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation, where he used a duplicate letterhead of West Bengal government's Land and Land Reforms department with forged signatures of state's Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Chief Secretary Basudeb Banerjee.

Police held the accused promoter and his companion Jonaki Basu from Salt Lake area.

They are likely to be produced before a local court on Saturday.
