Upon raiding the place, Saha asked Dey to provide the necessary documents and permissions to confirm that he is running the pathological laboratory legally. After getting no valid documents, Saha told Dey to shut down the place immediately which angered Dey and then he and his associates shoved Saha out of the lab and thrashed him.
Saha told The Telegraph that while he was getting thrashed, Dey threatened Saha with his high political connection and warned him to stay away from him.
