Trinamool Congress (TMC) national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee was reportedly attacked during a visit to Sonarpur in West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas on Saturday. He had gone to meet families affected by post-poll violence when a group of locals began protesting. The situation escalated quickly as eggs and stones were hurled at his convoy while some people shouted “chor chor” (thief) slogans. Security personnel surrounded and escorted him from the spot, with visuals showing heightened tension and crowd unrest. Banerjee alleged a political conspiracy behind the attack and claimed he was targeted deliberately. The incident reflects rising political tension in the region. (PC: India Today)
