On Sunday, former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s car was targeted during a visit to meet the family of a deceased TMC worker in Halisahar, North 24 Parganas. Chanting "Chor," unidentified assailants threw stones, bricks, and bottles at the vehicle as she traveled to the house of Birju Keo, who allegedly perished in police custody.
Police and Rapid Action Force cordoned off the area to prevent further incidents. In her statement to the media, Mamata alleged she could have been killed if the car window was open. She accused the police of failing to protect her and suggested that BJP supporters had been shielded by authorities. TMC MPs Kalyan Banerjee and Dola Sen expressed a desire for justice over the alleged death in police custody.
The BJP denied any involvement in the attack, with state BJP chief Samik Bhattacharya condemning the violence and vowing not to tolerate it. Analytical commentator Biswanath Chakraborty noted that Mamata's claims might be motivated by personal gain.
