New Delhi, Nov 23 (mb): Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen moved from West Bengal to Rajasthan on Thursday, a day after protests against her stay in India snowballed into large-scale violence in Kolkata.
"We believe she has moved to Jaipur," an intelligence official said here.
"This was under an arrangement between the West Bengal government and the Rajasthan government," the official added.
The protests by a section of the Muslim community in central Kolkata on Wednesday, demanding cancellation of Nasreen's Indian visa, turned violent and the Army had to be called in the city.
While the situation in Kolkata was peaceful on Thursday, the state government wanted her to move out as a precautionary measure for her safety.
Nasreen, living in Kolkata after being forced out of her country, had also come under attack in Hyderabad earlier this year.
