‘Won’t be able to step out of house’: Bengal CM warns Mamata Banerjee

Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari warned his predecessor Mamata Banerjee against delving too deeply into the disclosure of her 2021 leg injury medical records on Monday. Adhikari stated that more such documents could be made public if required. This warning followed Banerjee's legal notice to SSKM Hospital and Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, demanding an explanation regarding the unauthorized release of Banerjee's medical records from the 2021 Nandigram incident.

Addressing the media, Adhikari stated, "Do not poke around too much. If I start showing the X-ray plates and MRI reports, you will not be able to step out of your house." Adhikari added that he would reveal the source of the records if necessary, noting that they were not at SSKM but in Banerjee's chamber at the Chief Minister's Office at Nabanna.

Adhikari did not clarify whether the medical records originated from Banerjee's office or residence. Additionally, Adhikari accused Banerjee of faking her leg injury during campaigning in Nandigram in 2021. Earlier, Adhikari displayed a document showing a March 11, 2021, report from the Department of Radio Diagnosis at Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, which indicated no fracture evidence.

Adhikari announced that the state government would initiate a fresh inquiry into Banerjee's "false claims" of leg injury during the 2021 assembly poll campaign. Banerjee's lawyer, Arka Nag, subsequently sent a legal notice to SSKM Hospital and Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, requesting an explanation on how Banerjee's medical records reached Adhikari and were subsequently made public.
