Mamata Banerjee sends notice to SSKM Hospital for allegedly leaking her medical reports
This comes days after Adhikari said that Banerjee faked her leg injury while releasing a five-year-old medical report
Former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has served a legal notice to the Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (IPGMER) authorities in Kolkata, seeking an explanation regarding how her medical reports related to a leg injury reached current Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari. This follows Adhikari's claim that Banerjee had faked her leg injury ahead of the 2021 state assembly elections, a claim she denied.
Banerjee's counsel, Arka Kumar Nag, stated that his client demanded to know whether any medical records pertaining to her had been placed before Adhikari and if so, the procedural steps taken by the hospital's department of radio-diagnosis. On March 10, 2021, Banerjee alleged an attack on her, leading CID to begin an investigation.
Despite the Trinamool Congress winning the elections, Banerjee lost to Adhikari in Nandigram. Adhikari, who stated that the March 11, 2021 findings from IPGMER's Bangur Institute of Neuro-Sciences (commonly known as SSKM hospital) revealed no fracture or dislocation, refused to respond to Banerjee's legal notice.
