Former West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s car was attacked with stones, bricks and bottles in Halisahar while she was visiting the family of deceased TMC worker Birju Keo, who allegedly died in police custody. Mamata claimed she could have been killed and accused police of protecting BJP workers. BJP condemned the attack and denied involvement.
Former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s car on Sunday was attacked while she went to meet with a deceased party worker’s family.
Mamata claimed that she was about to get ‘killed’.
Chanting ‘Chor’, some unidentified goons were seen pelting stones, bricks and bottles aiming at the car of Mamata at Halisahar in North 24 parganas while she was going to deceased party worker Birju Keo’s house who allegedly died under police custody.
Notably, police and RAF had cordoned the area so that no untoward incident took place.
Talking to the media, Mamata accompanied by Trinamool Congress (TMC) Lok Sabha MP Kalyan Banerjee and Rajya Sabha MP Dola Sen said that she could have even died due to the agitation.
“If the window glass were open, it could have split my head open. I could have died. The police did nothing but gave protection to the people of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Lumphants are moving all over and police have brought them to hide their incapabilities. We will file a case,” said Mamata.
TMC Lok Sabha MP Kalyan Banerjee mentioned that they want ‘justice’ to the alleged death of their party worker under police custody.
